Here are some examples of laws in Illinois. Do you think it's a black mark that BHO didn't do something about some of these laws?

No one may stand on the sidewalk on the 500 block of Illinois Ave.

One may not pee in his neighbor’s mouth.

Law forbids eating in a place that is on fire.

It is illegal to give a dog whiskey.

It is forbidden to fish while sitting on a giraffe’s neck.

Dumb Laws in Illinois. Crazy Illinois Laws. We have weird laws, strange laws, and just plain crazy laws!

My point is that there are laws on the books in every town, state in this country that are obsolete and unknown. Is this one of them?
