By Cate, August 15, 2010 at 8:33 pm

Did you know that it's illegal for unmarried women in Chicago to call a bachelor "Mister"?  Apparently, the proper title is "Master." 

Here are nine other weird and/or outdated Chicago laws that are still apparently on the books.  Which of these have you violated?

Weird Law #7

Weird Law #6
It is illegal to dine in a building that is on fire.

Weird Law #4
You might get picked up for being a vagrant if you have less than $1 on you. I am in constant violation of this law.
Weird Law #3
It is illegal to dance barefoot! Kevin Bacon, come save us!
Weird Law #2
It is illegal to protest naked in front of City Hall...but only if you are eighteen and over. If you are younger than that, go for it.
Weird Law #1
It's illegal to speak English in Illinois...here, we speak American.

    French Poodles should be required at the opera! That law is bogus!

    Does anybody check this stuff before it gets posted? None of these laws actually exist.

    My dogs can't stand whiskey, so no worries there.

    Luckily we all now have debit cards to hide the fact that we have no money on them.

    Rats. I totally missed the cut off for protesting nekked. I guess I'll have to settle for smoking pot on the government lawn :/

    Does Mayor Daley know it's illegal to fly a kite? He sponsors annual kite flying at the Museum of Science and Industry every spring! Quick! Call the cops!
