In Minnesota, there was once a law that banned laughing while sitting in a dental chair. This strange rule was supposedly in place to prevent accidents and ensure patient safety during dental procedures.
The reasoning behind such a law points to concerns about the unpredictability of laughter when dental tools and procedures are involved, which could potentially lead to mishaps. It’s a curious reflection on the lengths to which laws will go to maintain order and safety, even in the dentist’s office.
