Castrate the Rampaging Bull? Missouri's Surprising Laws

What do you do if your neighbor's bull keeps rampaging through town? In Missouri, castrate it. Legally. In this episode we open on a neighborly nightmare—a loose, dangerous bull, a three‑day reign of chaos, and an old statute that lets three neighbors agree to castrate a bull, boar, or ram over one year old after notifying the owner. It sounds like folklore, but the law is real, very old, and still on the books. Then we swerve into traffic-law absurdities: a statute making it illegal to lean out and honk someone else’s car horn—specifically swinging upon a motor vehicle to sound the horn—written for pranksters and chaos agents. We chase myths too, like the rumor that Missouri bans driving with an uncaged bear, separating the common-sense guesses from the actual code. By the end you’ll laugh, wince, and be surprised at how seriously some places once took runaway livestock and late-night hijinks. We close by heading west to Montana, teasing trains, cows, and frisbee-golf curfews—because once you start, the strange laws keep piling up.
