Town Law Would Ban "Annoying" Singing

Hundreds of children will be spared hours of off-key Tom Jones songs while shopping with their parents if a new law passes in Sullivan Island, South Carolina. The proposed law would make it illegal to sing, yell, shout, or make any other noise if it is annoying to the people around you. From the article: "Town Administrator Andy Benke said the wording of the proposed law came from an ordinance in North Charleston, S.C. The town code already bans crying, calling, shouting and using musical instruments if they are deemed annoying by people nearby."
