Missouri Laws

 

OK… So I didn’t grow up in Georgia, and I did grow up in Iowa, so in the interest of full disclosure, I was born in Missouri. So, here are some strange laws from my birth state.

State wide:
It is illegal to have oral sex. Period! (Spit that out!)
Single men between the ages of twenty-one and fifty must pay an annual tax of one dollar (enacted 1820).


It is not illegal to speed.
