So there's pumpkin patches and apple orchards to go to. You could watch the Cubs game or maybe do some fall yard work. But warning, if you plan on taking a French poodle to an opera in Chicago, you're going to jail.

I love states and their goofy laws that have been in place forever. Some of these are so strange it almost makes you want to do them.

Now I don't think law enforcement would truly get on your case or even arrest you for doing most of these, but you would feel pretty bad ass if you tried some.

  • In Normal, IL it is illegal to make faces at dogs - I'm guilty of this for sure, not in Normal.
  • It is illegal to give a pet a cigar - I can avoid doing this.
  • It's illegal to eat in a burning building - Again, easily avoidable.
  • In Chicago, it is illegal to take a French poodle to the opera - Now this just ruined my weekend.
  • In Eureka IL, it's illegal for a man with a moustache to kiss a woman - Eureka!
  • In Chicago, it's illegal to go fishing in your pajamas - I don't fish but do love some PJ pants.
  • It is illegal to give whiskey to dogs - My pups are beer drinkers.
  • It is illegal to mispronounce Joliet as "Jolly-ette" - Guilty.
  • In Ottawa, it is illegal to spit on the sidewalk - I was just there two weeks ago, did I?
  • In Kenilworth, a rooster must stand back 300 feet from a residence if it wishes to crow - Insert your own joke here.

Plan your weekend accordingly, I might advise against the burning building one.
