Hmm......had to check out Florida:

Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal. (NOW they tell me!)

It is illegal to fart in a public place after 6:00pm on a Thursday. (This is going to cut into the midweek specials at the local Mexican restaurants)


(and now, for my own city)
Pensacola: Citizens may not be caught downtown without at least 10 dollars on their person; (heck, I spend most of my time as a felon, then)

It is illegal to roll a barrel on any street, fines go up according to the contents of the barrel; (hey, getting those kegs to the party is getting harder and harder)

A women can be fined (only after death), for being electrocuted in a bath-tub because of using self-beautification utensils. (so does that mean that the curling iron as a sex toy in the shower is a bad idea?)

~~~~~~~it's a pretty "green" state.. all those sticks littering the ground and all ;)
My home town: 
     No dancing allowed where there is alcohol served."
     The city fathers decided that it could lead to adultry...lol
      When I was in high school, the band and choir teacher challenged that law because he had a dance band that wanted a a gig at the local pub. That's when it made national headlines. I don't think he ever won.
