| In San Francisco, hookers are not required to carry bills on their person larger than $50 in order to make change.
Horny? Don't be a rhino in California! According to a website that specializes in strange facts about sex, all animals are banned in the Golden State from mating within 1500 feet of a place of worship, school or tavern. Presumably they CAN drink at the tavern but they can't get busy near the tavern. Ah, and speaking of rhinos, if you want to own one in Norco, you have to pony up $100 for the privilege.
Don't let Fido get frisky in Ventura County. He or she will get busted. Dogs and cats need a permit to, uh, get animal.
Stay belted! Hard to believe, but it's allegedly legal for a man to beat his wife in Los Angeles if he uses a belt less than 2 inches wide, and if she gives her consent.
In Baldwin Park you are NOT (repeat not) allowed to ride your bike in a swimming pool. We are glad we could clear that up for you, lest there be any confusion with bike riders who like to make a splash while riding.
They don't like city slickers in Blythe! If you don't own at least two cows, you can do time for wearing cowboy boots.
In Cathedral City, it's illegal to sleep in a parked car.
If you leave dog waste in your yard for more than seven days in Cerritos, you can be cited. Of course, we want to know how anyone knows what dog doo looks like on the eighth day? And, more interestingly, whose job is it to decide?
Note to terrorists! Don't go to Chino. Detonating a nuclear device of any kind, within the city limits, will get you a $500 fine.
Remember Tommy? That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure played a mean pinball! Not in Downey he didn't. Pinball is against the law there.
Apparently they're trying to keep the lid on pollution in Dana Point. You can use your restroom, but close the window or else!
Who wouldn't want to be kissed by mega hunk Tom Selleck? Well, if you live in Eureka watch those lips! Men with moustaches are simply not allowed to plant a wet one on a woman in Eureka.
Lizards don't have a lot of rights, but in Fresno they enjoy major protection. Lizards cannot be annoyed while in city parks. So if you're in the park minding your own business, and some lizard sits down with his boom box and starts blasting his music, the cops will take his side.
Dogs in wheelchairs are not as uncommon as you think. Many dogs are old, arthritic, and have hip problems. But you don't want to bring an infirmed dog to Glendale. Dogs are not allowed on elevators. So Bowser, get to stepping!
You'll never be able to see the Glendale 500 at this rate. Indianapolis has nothing to worry about. It is illegal for someone in Glendale to jump into a moving or passing car. It is also illegal to go in reverse.
And you wonder why J-Lo doesn't do concerts in Hermosa Beach. It is illegal to show your buttocks on a playground in that city.
It had to be ewe! Apparently it's okay if a group of hookers, crazies, drug addicts or gang members congregate on Hollywood Boulevard. BUT just let 2000 sheep try to meet and the fuzz goes a little crazy. FYI, it is illegal to drive 2000 sheep down the Boulevard at once. If you DO have 2000+ sheep, try Olympic.
In Lompoc, it's cock-a-doodle-oh-no-you-dont! Roosters are outlawed.
Talk about a golf handicap. In Long Beach, you are not allowed to curse or use foul language while playing miniature golf. Apparently, it's okay to curse like a sailor while playing badminton or tennis. But curse while playing some #$%* miniature golf and find your #$%**#$ in hot water.
Like it or not, it's the law. You cannot (underscore cannot) lick a toad anywhere in Los Angeles. And this is even if the toad is consenting and over 18.
Finally, a law we can get behind. Men in Los Angeles are not allowed to wear Zoot suits. Okay, to be completely honest, we couldn't find a picture of a Zoot suit. Which is a good thing. Next: Someone please ban leisure suits. And men in Espadrilles...another crime.
You might want to walk a mile for a camel, but in Palm Springs, do not under any circumstances walk your camel on Palm Canyon Drive between the hours of 4 - 6 p.m.
You cannot carry your lunch down the street in Riverside between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Go green sure! But at the appropriate time people! Christmas lights are pretty to look at but in San Diego, there is a limit. Like February 2nd. The city can fine you for keeping your lights up after Feb. 2.
You can't use used undies to wipe your car down in the Bay Area.
In San Francisco it is illegal to engage in oral sex -- that's giving or receiving.
