Or at least, it's the law somewhere. I have not confirmed any of the laws included in the list below (sent to me, of course, by a cousin). I can attest that there are some goofy laws on the books.
One that does not appear is a local ordinance in Marin County (California) that makes it illegal to peel an orange in a motel room. The fact that the law exists is less interesting to me than what circumstances prompted the city council (or whomever) to pass such specific laws.
Real Laws for Real People
A law in Fairbanks, Alaska, does not allow moose to have sex on city streets.
In Ventura County, California, cats and dogs are not allowed to have sex without a permit.

In Bozeman, Montana, you can't perform any sexual acts in the front yard of any home, after sundown, and if you are nude.
A Helena, Montana law states that a woman cannot dance on a saloon table unless her clothing weighs more than three pounds, two ounces. (Gee, I bet this has spurred some heavy but sexy clothing!)

A Tremonton, Utah law states that no woman is allowed to have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance. In addition to normal charges, the woman's name will be published in the local newspaper. The man does not receive any punishment.
