You cannot carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sundays.

The Law

This bizarre law is a relic of old horse-thieving days. Thieves would place an ice cream cone in their back pocket to lure a horse away without physically dragging it by a rope, thereby hoping to avoid a horse-stealing charge. Sunday blue laws made this oddly specific method of theft an explicitly separate offense.
