    It’s illegal to keep a sleeping donkey in a bathtub after 7 pm. in Arizona.

    It’s illegal to fall asleep in a cheese factory in South Dakota.

    It’s illegal to bring a kangaroo inside barber shops in Alaska.

        I suppose so. The only one I found explained was the donkey one.

        A town was flooded in 1924 where they wasted a lot of time searching for a missing donkey. To avoid it happening again, they banned donkeys sleeping in bathtubs at night.

        The cheese factory law is probably an interpretation of a more general law about not being allowed to sleep when working in food production.

        The ban on kangaroos in barber shops also includes flamingos. I do not know the source of that, but Alaska does have a lot of strange laws about animals. Mostly moose.
