Don't do that in Jersey

In Ocean City, there's a law on the books that forbids one from annoying others on the Ocean City Boardwalk.  It's probably not very enforceable. I know this because those Philly guys keep wearing their socks with sandals!

If you've gone for a new driver's license, complete with a new photo, you probably know this one: You can't smile for your driver's license photo. You can't frown either!

We found a real strange one: You can't set off a nuclear bomb in Jersey - or. you'll have to pay a $500 fine.

In New Jersey, when you're committing a crime, you can't wear a bulletproof vest.  (So, you can only commit one crime at a time.)

Be careful protesting in Trenton. You can't throw pickles on the street. Imagine what happened to inspire this law!

Only in New Jersey

Don't feed the bears - that's illegal. Additionally, refrain from wearing high heels on the beach in North Wildwood. That's a no-no.

We all know you can't pump your own gas in New Jersey. We're now the only state with that law.

Finally, there's an old law on the books in Hammonton: men aren't allowed to knit during fishing season.

Stay safe, New Jersey!
