Here’s my favourite!

In Ohio, no one may be arrested on Sunday or on the Fourth of July.

Let’s all start planning a bank robbery for next year!

I know in NY if you have more than three native Americans walking together it’s considered a raiding war party, and of course illegal. I used to grab my friends and pretend to raid things sometimes. Between the four of us we made maybe a whole native american.

In Baltimore it’s illegal to throw bales of hay from a second-story window within the city limits.

I actually knew that one, but wanted to grab the more exact phrasing (which I found on Arundel Guide) and found some others in the process.

Also in Baltimore it’s illegal to take a lion to the movies. You can get a $10 fine if you’re in a public park with a sleeveless shirt. This would include joggers that go shirtless. You may not curse inside the city limit. It is a violation of city code to sell chicks or ducklings to a minor within 1 week of the Easter holiday.

In Maryland (in its entirety I guess) thistles may not grow in your yard.

In Baltimore City you may spit on a city roadway, but spitting on city sidewalks is prohibited.

In Rockville you may not swear while on the highway.
