Dumb laws in Illinois I find halirious.
I was reading something on MLIA about Dumb Laws, so I decided to look up Weird Laws In Illinois because that's where I live. Be prepared to laugh you butt off.
Champaign:
One may not pee in his neighbor’s mouth.
Chicago:
Law forbids eating in a place that is on fire.
It is illegal to give a dog whiskey.
It is forbidden to fish while sitting on a giraffe’s neck (I so want to do that now).
In the Pullman area, it is illegal to drink beer out of a bucket while sitting on the curb.
Cicero:
Humming on public streets is prohibited on Sundays.
Galesburg:
No person may keep a smelly dog.
It is illegal to burn bird feathers.
There is a $1,000 dollar fine for beating rats with baseball bats.
Kenilworth:
A rooster must step back three hundred feet from any residence if he wishes to crow.
Normal:
It is against the law to make faces at dogs.
It just makes me wonder why the people who are in charge, are in charge. I am just glad that there are no dumb laws in Quincy (where I live). It makes me feel safe for some odd reason.
