When you come into town you must blow your car horn to warn horses you're coming. When 2 trains meet at a passing track neither can proceed until one is past the other (a law which the railroads break here every day).And from my town:
No household may harbor more than 5 dogs or cats and 1 litter of 5 puppies or kittens, or a combo of 8 dogs and cats.How the fuck are you gonna control the # of pups or kittens in a litter? And if you have 6 do you drown the 5th? Stupid asshole city council.
Yes this ordnance bit me a few years ago thanks to the BITCH of a neighbor next to me.

Actually that's more of a romanticized legend than anything grounded.
Sources establishing him as the first person to alter western theater in such ways were from Aristotle and actual theatrical performances themselves-- the former living at least a few centuries after the supposed events.
