The fortune database contains lots of silly laws which allegedly
exist in various towns in the US. Are these really true? 

Examples:

  Idaho state law makes it illegal for a man to give his sweetheart a box
  of candy weighing less than fifty pounds.

  In Greene, New York, it is illegal to eat peanuts and walk backwards on
  the sidewalks when a concert is on.

  In Lexington, Kentucky, it's illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your
  pocket.

  In Memphis, Tennessee, it is illegal for a woman to drive a car unless
  there is a man either running or walking in front of it waving a red
  flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians.

  In Seattle, Washington, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon that
  is over six feet in length.

  In Tennessee, it is illegal to shoot any game other than whales from a
  moving automobile.

  It is illegal to say "Oh, Boy" in Jonesboro, Georgia.

  It's illegal in Wilbur, Washington, to ride an ugly horse.
