Let me guess - the headline made you stop and look (LOL). What Michigan city bans sex in cars? Scroll down and find out. But first - why are we posting these weird Michigan laws? There was an article on FoxNews about actual laws around the United States...for example:

  • Arizona has a law that specifically bans rigging claw machine games so they're impossible to win. (ummm...yeah. That's called cheating)
  • Little Rock, Arkansas has a law that bans beeping your horn outside any sandwich shop after 9:00 P.M. (what? this is a problem in Arkansas?)
  • In Delaware, whispering in church is technically illegal if it disrupts the service. (but how else can I talk about the ridiculous hat that Debbie's wearing)
  • In Idaho, it's illegal to walk around carrying a white cane unless you're blind. (ohhh there's a story behind this one)
  • In Maryland, it's illegal to make, sell, or trade stink bombs. (did you see their football team last year?)

So those are different, right? THEY'RE NOTHING! Check out these laws here in our great state:

Clawson

There is a law that makes it legal for a farmer to sleep with his pigs, cows, horses, goats, and chickens. (suddenly the farmers market is a much stranger place)

Detroit

Putt-putt golf courses must close by 1:00 AM.

Couples are banned from making love in an automobile unless the act takes place while the vehicle is parked on the couple’s own property.

Willfully destroying your old radio is prohibited. (we like this law)

It is illegal for a man to scowl at his wife on Sunday.

It is illegal to let your pig run free in Detroit unless it has a ring in its nose.

Grand Haven

No person shall throw an abandoned hoop skirt into any street or on any sidewalk, under penalty of a five- dollar fine for each offense. (I wonder if this was enacted during Happy Days…kidding)

Harper Woods

It is illegal to paint sparrows to sell them as parakeets. (someone please find the back story for this – there has to be more to it)

Kalamazoo

It is against the law to serenade your girlfriend. (I’m betting this made law by Kalamazoo Mayor Carrie-Oke…no really, there’s got to be more to this story right?)

Rochester

Did you know all bathing suits must have been inspected by the head of police. (Wait…is it just me or does this sound like a Simpsons episode)

Soo

Smoking while in bed is illegal. (unless you sing to your girlfriend in Kalamazoo – see above)

Wayland

Anyone can keep their cow on Main Street downtown at a cost of 3 cents per day. (Where do they keep the change?)
