We all know there are antiquated, dumb laws on the books in every state. Here are a dozen head-scratchers in Missouri – commuters should definitely take a look at No. 8!

1. Want to burn yard waste in Buckner, Missouri? It better not be Sunday, because then you'd be breaking the law.

2. In Columbia, clothesline are banned, but dropping your wet laundry over a fence? No problemo.

3. In Kansas City, you're out of luck if you want a bathtub with legs resembling animal paws.

4. We know it's hard, but in Natchez, you really shouldn't provide beer or other intoxicants to elephants.

6. In University City, yard sales in the front yard are a no-go.

7. If you're a milkman in St. Louis, you better slow down. It's illegal to run!
