2. In Cicero, it’s against the law to hum on public streets on a Sunday…But go and hum your heart out Monday-Saturday

3. You are prohibited from eating inside a burning building when you’re in Chicago.  

4. In Pullman, you can’t drink beer out of a bucket while sitting on a curb. 

5. Taking a nap on the dance floor is illegal… we all have that one friend. 

6. It’s illegal to give your dog whiskey. 

7. It’s also illegal to bring your poodle to the Opera. 

8. It’s unlawful to wear saggy pants in Collinsville. 

9. There is a $5 fine for pronouncing Joliet (Jolly-ETTE).

And lastly…

10. It’s illegal to have sex with a corpse… Because that’s not weird at all.
