ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (AP) -- If you move to Kentucky you better be prepared to bathe -- at least once a year.

A state law that mandates people bathe at least once in 12 months is just one of many unusual statutes that are or have been on the books.

Another state law, for example, stated that "No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club."

The law was later amended with: "The provisions of this statute shall not apply to females weighing less than 90 pounds nor exceeding 200 pounds, nor shall it apply to female horses."

1. In Massachusetts...

there's a law on the books that says mourners at a wake may not eat more than three sandwiches.
