TOO FUNNY! I have to share my favorite but unenforced law here is the Nashville, TN, area. It is illegal to have a female dog that is in heat outside where male dogs may find a way to get to her. A female dog (edited here, actual word with this definition is used in the law) in heat may be shot on sight. However, it is illegal to discharge a firearm in the city limits. Male coworkers remind those of us females on a monthly basis, however, about being shot on sight.

I have a feeling that this one is out of Broward County.....on the corner of 441 and Stirling there was a hot dog vendor who had hot girls in bikinis selling hot dogs and causing LOTS of accidents
