Have you ever heard of a law and thought, “What the heck happened for that to be made into a law?” We’ve got plenty of those in Baltimore. Take the following list, for example, found on the site dumblaws.com. Stay classy, Baltimore.

  1. It is illegal to throw bales of hay from a second-story window within city limits.

  1. It is illegal to take a lion to the movies.

  1. Spitting on city sidewalks is prohibited.

Flickr / Slava …I’ve seen this one broken time and time again. Ugh.

  1. No person who is a “tramp” or “vagrant” shall loiter in any park at any time.

  1. It is a park rule violation to be in a public park with a sleeveless shirt.

Flickr / mangpages Arms are offensive, apparently.

  1. It is a violation of city code to sell chicks or ducklings to a minor within 1 week of the Easter holiday.

Flickr / Andrei Niemimäki This one makes sense. Maybe stick with candy for Easter.

  1. You may not curse inside the city limits.

Flickr / Crystal Stallard Well, $#&%.

Have you ever broken any of these kooky laws?
