This isn't a joke, but it is pretty funny if not ludicrous:
CURSES! FOILED AGAIN: It is now illegal in Colorado to wear aluminum
underwear. "This is serious business," insists State Sen. Stephanie
Takis, who sponsored the bill. "We have laws against using crowbars as
theft devices, but if you were lining your underwear with aluminum
foil, that was not a crime." It is now. Apparently, shoplifters found
such so-called "iron pants" allow them to sneak stolen items past
anti-theft scanners at store doors. The law also allows store security
officers to detain people who "crackle when they walk," but provides an
exception for aluminum britches worn for "personal amusement."
(Colorado Springs Gazette) ...Which is probably covered under vice
statutes.
