Illinois, it is against the law for a fat person to be on a horse. if a police officer finds you ugly they can arrest you. not wearing shoes while driving is against the law, it's against the law to spit on the side walk. they are so ridicules they are not enforced.

You have to look at some old local city laws to really see some funny ones. These are a couple from places I have lived:
In Litchfield, MN, you must be a legal resident of the community to get a permit to own or operate any of the following types of business: bar, pawn shop, adult bookstore, or strip club.
In Fargo, ND, three or more Native Americans walking down the street are considered a 'war party' and can be legally shot.
In the state of North Dakota, two or more non-related people of mixed gender cannot live at the same residence. This leads to a lot of very creative addresses even though this law has not been enforced for over eighty years.

I don't know if it's still on the books, but years ago in New York a store couldn't sell beer between midnight Saturday and noon on Sunday. It's an example of what are known as blue laws. I worked in a supermarket at the time that was open 24 hours. We had a big heavy curtain that we had to close in front of the beer aisle at midnight. We opened it up again at noon.

In Texas there is a law that no livestock is allowed in neighborhood areas. Now to me and other fellow Texans it is not really that silly or strange, but my friends from other states think it is hilarious that there is actually a law written about that.

In Ontario and in many districts in North America you can be psychologically tortured and harassed by Children's Aid and other government lackeys and even go to jail simply for having a difference of opinion on what it means to be educated.

I don't know if it is still against the law in Missouri for someone to shave their neighbor's horses tail, but it was on the statute books for many years. May yet be on them.
