These were the ones that made me laugh the most. I still can't get over the one with the cow, that's funny stuff.

Fear not Wisconsin....no laws forbidding animal lovin' on the list!

In Minnesota it is illegal to sleep with someone who you are not married to. This is actually enforced. Some people meet all the qualifications to claim a girlfriend or boyfriend as a dependent on there tax return, but if they are sleeping together the relationship violates local law and therefore they can't be claimed, I have seen this enforced by the irs and MN revenue in the past few years. Ridiculous.

I doubt you have anything to worry about.

The IRS are petty thugs. Income taxes are an unrepresented tax and therefore optional. "No taxation without representation." They enforce a non existent law with intimidation and base all court cases for tax evasion on previous cases, not actual law.
