Many month's after Where Y'at Magazine published its own rundown of weird New Oleans' laws, Acadiana's KLFY 10 News published an extended list of its own for the entire state. Ranking among the most fatuous felonies are:

In Louisiana, a chef who prepares jambalaya in “the traditional manner” is excused from following the health code. (Guess that rules out fushion restaurants.)

It is a $500 fine to instruct a pizza delivery man to deliver a pizza to your friend without them knowing. (So much for paying it forward.)

It is illegal to rob a bank and then shoot at the bank teller with a water pistol. (Imagine the shoot out in Heat with Super Soakers.)

Biting someone with your natural teeth is “simple assault,” while biting someone with your false teeth is “aggravated assault. (Let me see your grill...)

In Port Allen, it is illegal for a person to predict another’s future. (The animatronic fortune teller from Big is currently serving hard time.)

And one law that absolutely no one here abides by:

In the State of Louisiana, it is a crime for fans at a sports event to insult or disparage players (F*** the Falcons.)
