There are a Couple of Weird Massachusetts Bathroom Laws That Pertain to Bathing

A couple of bathroom-related laws that I would like to highlight pertain to the city of Boston. These are a bit strange and kind of cancel each other out. Not that anyone would ever arrest you if you broke these laws but I thought that it would be fun to share. In Boston, (1) It's illegal to bathe unless your doctor gives you a prescription. (2) It’s also illegal not to bathe before going to bed in Boston.

Yeah, those are some strange laws but I do get a kick out of the second one. Imagine if you really had to bathe before bed each night. Who really knows for sure if these are or were really laws or just myths but either way they are included in many website articles regarding bizarre laws in Massachusetts.
