I'm new to Oregon, so I may not be able to play this game as often as I could have with some of the wakey laws in my home state.

According to a sign I saw in Mo's Restaurant in Newport last week, this antiquated law is still on the books though no longer enforced:

All people are required to remove their socks before entering the Pacific Ocean.

Dumb Laws in Germany:

1. Every office must have a view of the sky, however small.

2. A pillow can be considered a “passive” weapon.

3. It is illegal to wear a mask.

Explanation
This law says that you are not allowed to mask your face when you go on a strike. Some years ago there were many problems with such people; they damaged everything and police couldn't identify them. Now, if you wear a mask in a strike, you can be arrested. This prevents such violence.
Why does this law exist?
During an unruly riot or demonstration, police may sometimes need to arrest persons breaking the law, and can do so more easily if their identity is not concealed.

4. It is illegal for ones car to run out of gas on the Autobahn.
