Here several weeks ago I found a sticky note attached to the fender of my car. The note asked that I not block the sidewalk and went on to say that it was illegal for me to do so. Now let me preface this story with a few points.
1. I was in my drive way.
2. I've been parking in this driveway for over 19 years.
Now I admit that when I park behind my wife's van, I do straddle the sidewalk. But come on! I'm in my driveway. AND, I've been parking like that for almost 20 years. Well ladies and gentlemen, what I found out is that it's true. It is ILLEGAL to block the sidewalk.
This crazy city ordinance got me to thinking. How many more idiot laws are out there on the books.
Here are a few that I found:
In Missouri, it is illegal to drive with and uncaged bear.
In Maine, it's illegal to have Christmas decorations up after January 14th.
In New Jersey, it is illegal to wear a bulletproof vest while committing a murder. (good to know)
In South Carolina, you must be 18 years of age to play a pinball machine.
In Louisiana, there is a $500 fine for instructing a pizza delivery man to deliver pizza to a friend unknowingly.
Sadly, this doesn't even scratch the surface.

Keep it legal!
