Abstract:
There are strange laws on the books that seemed to have been created by North Carolina politicians looking for a good laugh. For example, it is illegal for men to flirt with girls that they do not know in Concord. In Marshville, intoxicated persons must be given castor oil. And in Pekin, young women are not permitted to drink coffee after 6:00 p.m. Strange laws like these remain because it takes many years to get a law on the books, and would take many more to get them off.
