Top 6 Weirdest Laws in Chicago

Whether it’s outdated, or just plain strange, Chicago has got some bizarre laws. From dining in a burning building to fishing while seated on a giraffe’s neck, here are the top 6 weirdest laws in Chicago.

1) It’s illegal to dine in a restaurant that is on fire.

Oh yeah, because food is our biggest concern when a building’s on fire.

2) It’s illegal for an unmarried woman to call a bachelor “Mister.”

Apparently, the proper word is “master.” So let’s just avoid both of these words altogether.

3) It’s illegal to fish while seated on a giraffe’s neck.

Don’t know why you would or could do this. But, here it is.

4) It’s illegal for dogs to drink whiskey.

My dog is more of a rum drinker anyway (totally kidding, #noanimalcruelty).

5) Those under 21 aren’t allowed to drink alcohol unless you’re enrolled in a culinary school.

And there’s really nothing more to say here.

6) It’s illegal for your pet to have poor hygiene.

Yes. You could get fined for a stinky dog and honestly, who’s complaining about that?
