Silly Laws or Dumb Warnings
I've seen some of these before but wonder what you've seen or found ..
Illinois Silly Laws:
The English language is not to be spoken. 
You may be arrested for vagrancy if you do not have at least one dollar bill on your person.
You must contact the police before entering the city in an automobile.
You may be convicted of a Class 4 felony offense, punishable by up to three years in state prison, for the crime of "eavesdropping" on your own conversation. -720 ILCS 5/14-2. 
And, out great city of Chicago has a few, too ...
It is illegal to give a dog whiskey.
In the Pullman area, it is illegal to drink beer out of a bucket while sitting on the curb.
Law forbids eating in a place that is on fire. (Good idea.  )
Kites may not be flown within the city limits.
It is forbidden to fish while sitting on a giraffe's neck. (This is important)
Spitting is forbidden
It is legal to protest naked in front of city hall as long as you are under seventeen years of age and have legal permits.
Dumb Warnings

In the town I use to live in you have to pull your vehicle to the side of the road and turn it off so as not to spook the passing horses and horse-drawn carraiges. And you can't drive motor vehicles down Main St.

It is a good thing that Queen Victoria isn't around to witness the marriage of Prince Charles to Seabiscuit.

Don't get me wrong...Camilla <sp?> ain't the prettiest chick I've ever seen...but...beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!!!!
I take homage with your statement lakritze. Have [we] ever seen your face (in personals forum...for example) and judged you so harshly? I can't say as I've ever seen a single pic from you! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...why is that?
I am in awe of this longstanding love story of theirs! He married someone he didn't love, to bear heirs to the crown. He held the torch for Camilla throughout the marriage to Diana. He waited a substantial amount of time after Diana's death to marry Camilla.
It was ALWAYS Camilla! Love conquers all!
Sorry lakritze...but it's been a long time coming! *kisses*
