In my state of Maryland:
It is illegal to play Randy Newman's "Short People" on the radio.
It is illegal to connect a fake missile launcher to a motor vehicle.
It is illegal for a restaurant to display more than 5 patio umbrellas with the same pattern.

It's still "legal" to hang someone for shooting your dog on your property. (Like to see that stand up in court!)
Probably won't, but in New Mexico -- and this is not a joke at all, -- it is legal to kill your spouse and his/her lover if you catch them in the act as long as you do it immediately. The reasoning is that a person witnessing a marital betrayal is not in control of his actions for a short time. Every couple years somebody gets off a murder charge on the basis of this law, and every year a legislation is introduced to repeal it -- and did not succeed so far .

My absolute favorite municipal law:
It is illegal to detonate a nuclear device within city limits of Marlborough, MA. The perpetrator is required to pay for all resulting damages.
