In Connecticut, a pickle has to bounce to legally be called a pickle

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In Connecticut, a pickle has to bounce to legally be called a pickle. But that's not where the pickle laws end and farmers say one law put them in, well a pickle.

Farmers can sell all the corn, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes they can pick, but forget about salsa, tomato sauce and pickles. It's just not allowed if you're a residential farmer and whatever you want to sell has a pH value of 4.6 or less.

Now, the state Legislature is debating about whether to let farmers give Vlasic some competition and allow sales of pickles, jam and salsa at farm stands.

Connecticut's Farm Bureau wants to see the day when acidified food is available for all, unless it contains milk, eggs, meat, poultry or fish. Those would not be allowed because of potential dangers.

A similar bill made it through the state House of Representatives in 2009 but it expired in the Senate in the final hours of the legislative session. Now it's bounced right back.

Anita Kopchinski, of Hidden Brook Gardens, LLC, a certified organic farm in Ledyard, is one farmer who wants to sell acidified foods at farmers markets.

"Connecticut residents want to support local farmers and want to have the choice to purchase locally made products - like pickles, salsas and tomato sauce," she said. "From an economic standpoint, for small farmers like myself, most of my business is direct sales to the customer at farmers markets, etc."

According to the state General Assembly site, the bill was referred to joint committee on Feb. 22 and is slated for a public hearing.

Governing a big country is a tough job, and you are bound to be hated by half of the population you're ruling. Now, bear in mind, that the person on top, is also responsible for the laws, upon which, the whole democratic system is based. And laws are passed after voting of the Congress, sometimes public vote, and then an affirmation of the president. With these dumb laws, that we have compiled below, we're not sure, where common sense got lost.

Did you know, that there's a crazy law in Juneau, Alaska prohibiting you from bringing your pet flamingo into a barbershop? Or that in Tenessee you might be prosecuted for sharing your Netflix password? And if you're from Indiana that you are banned from catching a fish with your bare hands? It sure would be interesting to know, why these weirdest laws in the U.S. became laws in the first place.

Though most of these laws sound incredibly dumb now, once they've had, or still does have, a real pretense. For example, the New York law against people wearing masks in public places is to prevent a mass crime or a riot, since you don't know the assailant's identity undercover. And the Arizona one, about camel shooting prohibitions, stems from United States Camel Corps, an army experiment to use these animals for military forces. So there, as improbable as these laws might seem, they do have comprehensive explanations. Scroll down below for our list of weird rules in the U.S. and share if you know more of these!

ALASKA: A person cannot get drunk in a bar and remain on the premises. The statute says an intoxicated person may not "knowingly" enter or camp out where alcohol is sold.

In 2012, police in Anchorage, Alaska, started enforcing the law by sending plainclothes officers into to bars to identify excessively drunk people and arrest suspects, according to ABC News.

CALIFORNIA: A frog that dies during a frog-jumping contest cannot be eaten and must be "destroyed" as soon as possible.

This health code likely made its way into the books to protect competitors at the Calaveras County Fair and Frog Jumping Jubilee, a decades old tradition in the gold-mining town of Angels Camp. Tourists and jockeys compete to see how far their frogs can leap.

COLORADO: You have to get a permit to modify the weather. (In some states, it's legal to perform activities that create changes in the composition or behavior of the atmosphere.)

Weather modification is not only possible, but it's actually a lucrative business. Colorado ski resorts pay private companies to burn silver iodide on the slopes. The material carries into the clouds and stimulates precipitation, which creates a fresh sheet of powder for skiiers.

Requiring a permit ensures minimal harm to the land and maximum benefit to the people.

FLORIDA: People who own bars, restaurants, and other places where liquor is sold, may be fined up to $1,000 if they participate in or permit any contest of dwarf-tossing.

Florida outlawed tossing little people in 1989 after the bar activity caught on in southern parts of the state. A Florida state legislator tried to repeal the law in 2011 but was unsuccessful.

HAWAII: Billboards have no place in paradise. They're outlawed in the state with few exceptions, including notices from public offices and signs posted where goods are sold.

The "urban beautification" initiative dates back to 1927, when an all-white circle of Hawaii's power wives created the Outdoor Circle Club and lobbied for the ban on outdoor ads.

ILLINOIS: Urban legend says it's a crime in Illinois to possess more than $600 worth of salamanders. That's 75-plus salamanders, according to fair market value.

INDIANA: Liquor stores can't sell refrigerated water or soda. The law specifies that a beer and wine store should be in the exclusive business of selling adult beverages and that any water or soda sold needs to be room temperature.

IOWA: Anyone trying to pass off margarine as real butter is guilty of a misdemeanor under food-labeling laws in Iowa. "Renovated butter" must also be labeled as such.

KANSAS: There's no place like home to get tipsy. It's illegal to sell liquor by the glass in over 25 counties across Kansas, which repealed prohibition a full 15 years after Congress.

In Kansas, individual counties may by resolution or petition prohibit the sale of alcohol in public places where 30% or less of their gross revenue comes from the sale of food.

KENTUCKY: Every legislator, public officer, and lawyer must take an oath stating that they have not fought a duel with deadly weapons.

When it entered the Kentucky Constitution in 1849, the law was meant to deter men who might aspire to public office from participating in the once rampant Southern tradition. Some evidence suggests thattrial by combat might technically be legal on a federal level even today.

MAINE: A game of chance called Beano (like Bingo) is regulated here. The law says that a person may assist players by playing their cards while they take a bathroom break.

This allowance does not apply in high-stakes Beano, which, apparently, is also a thing.

MICHIGAN: A statute on the books since 1931 makes adultery a felony - punishable by a maximum sentence of four years in prison and possibly a $5,000 fine.

In 2012, a Portage police sergeant was fired for on-the-job misconduct after allegedly cheating on his wife and furthering a relationship with a local waitress using a city-issued cellphone. The man was neither fined nor imprisoned, suggesting Michigan doesn't take the law too seriously.

MISSISSIPPI: Profanity in public could land a person in jail for up to 30 days. It's illegal for anyone to use vulgar or obscene language in the presence of two or more people.

While this law appears to be a direct assault on the First Amendment, it's thought to have been conceived in order to protect the public.

NEBRASKA: No person who is afflicted with a sexually transmitted disease can marry.

While it's nearly impossible to enforce, and no blood test or medical history is required to get a marriage license, this health code could prevent marital bliss for more than 9,700 Nebraskans who reported cases of chlamydia or gonorrhea to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services in 2015.

NEVADA: Using an X-ray machine to determine a person's shoe size could get you in trouble.

NEW JERSEY: A person wearing a bullet-proof vest while carrying out a grave criminal act can be charged separately for suiting up. The practical effect is more jail and fines.

NEW YORK: The Empire State bans "being masked or in any manner" disguised in public with other people dressed in the same getup. The law has withstood legal challenges since 1845. It includes exceptions for parties.

SOUTH CAROLINA: A male over the age of 16 can't seduce a woman by falsely promising to marry her. But no law exists with the gender roles reversed.

If found guilty, the man will be charged with a misdemeanor, fined at the court's discretion, and possibly imprisoned for no more than one year - with a number of exceptions.
