One that comes to my mind is the following:
In Idaho, it is illegal to be pregnant out of wedlock.  No, the law says
nothing about the *father* of the child.  The law is just one of many that
the State enacted for the sake of reducing the number of teen- and other
single-parents.  Yes, the State of Idaho does enforce the law - to set an
example, of course.  Weird...
