So, I’m pretty sure most of these are not real or just too retarded to believe they are real. Here is an example from a few:
Florida
- In Sarasota, it is illegal to sing while wearing a bathing suit.
Georgia
- In Quitman, it is illegal for a chicken to cross a road.
Indiana
- Monkeys are forbidden to smoke cigarettes in South Bend.
Maryland
- It’s illegal to play Randy Newman’s “Short People” on the radio.
Missouri
- While children may purchase shotguns in Kansas City, they are not allowed to buy toy cap guns.
Pennsylvania
- “Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass. If the horses appear skittish, the motorist must take his car apart, piece by piece, and hide it under the nearest bushes”.
Tennessee
- Also in Memphis, it is illegal for a woman to drive by herself; “a man must walk or run in front of the vehicle, waving a red flag in order to warn approaching pedestrians and motorists.”
Washington
- Seattle residents may not carry concealed weapons longer than six feet.
Yea, they are quite amusing.

It’s illegal for me to sing in anything or any where. And that’s a good law.
Randy Newman will have his revenge on Maryland
Ok, Ok, I got to confess here. It was my 4′-11″ wife who lobbied to get the “Short People” song banned when we lived in Maryland. She wanted to do the same thing here in Louisiana, but they don’t play it on the radio here as it is.
