Go West, young man. And watch out for these weird and strange laws out West, too. We’ve wrangled up a few of those ornery strange laws below.

CALIFORNIA

- Sunshine is guaranteed to the masses. No wonder this is the Golden State.

- In Arcadia, peacocks have the right of way to cross any street or driveway.
- In Baldwin Park, no one is allowed to ride a bicycle in a swimming pool. Guess we’re going to have to learn how to swim.
- In Blythe, no one is allowed to wear cowboy boots unless you own at least two cows.
- Behave yourself in Fresno; you may not annoy a lizard in a city park. Elementary schools may not host poker tournaments.
- In Los Angeles, toads may not be licked. And don’t cry either if you get arrested, because crying is not allowed on the witness stand. In Los Angeles County, it is illegal to skateboard and roller skate through the courthouse and library. Just so you know what is proper behavior.

WASHINGTON

- Alas, poor goldie. In Seattle, it is illegal to carry a goldfish or aquarium tank on a city bus because the sound of sloshing water may disturb passengers.
