Although these laws are infrequently enforced in contemporary times, they remain officially recorded in South Dakota's legal framework. Below are the Ten Commandments as dictated by South Dakota law:
1. Thou shalt not lie down and fall asleep in a cheese factory. Something bizarre must've happened a long time ago in Dimmock.
2. Every hotel must have twin beds two feet apart and thou shalt not make love between the beds. This is probably how the Bible ended up in the nightstands.
3. You shall not interfere with a mink's habitat.
4. You shall refrain from using a spotlight during hunting activities, except when pursuing raccoons and monitoring your dog.
5. You shall not attempt to persuade a pacifist to abandon their principles through the threat of an arm-wrestling match.
6. In Huron, thou shalt not create static! Prisoner 1: "What are you in for, Mack?" Prisoner 2: "Rubbing two balloons together in the Hangar Restaurant."
7. Thou shalt never use a throwing star in Sisseton. Take your Ninja skills elsewhere.
8. No horses are allowed into Fountain Inn unless they are wearing pants. Oh, there's got to be an interesting backstory here.
9. You shall not watch films that depict police officers being assaulted, harmed, or portrayed in a disrespectful way.
In South Dakota, farmers have the permission to use fireworks or explosives to safeguard their sunflower fields, provided they maintain a distance of at least six hundred sixty feet from the closest church, residence, or school.
