HelenW Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 Talking about alcohol laws reminded me about this funny web site I've been to, that has silly laws from around the world that actually exist! Here are some examples. All English males are required by law to carry out 2 hours of logbow practise every week. In Liverpool it is illegal for ladies to be topless unless they work as a clerk in a tropical fish store. in York, it is legal to kill a scotsman as long as it is after midnight and with a bow and arrow. it is illegal for a politician to enter the houses of parliament wearing a full suit of armour. In america: Prohibits elephants from strolling down Market Street unless they are on a leash. It is illegal to wipe one's car with used underwear. Persons classified as "ugly" may not walk down any street. It is illegal to pile horse manure more than six feet high on a street corner. It's illegal to take a lion to the movies No gorilla is allowed in the back seat of any car If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle. It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit. Men may not be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown. Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal. It is illegal to skateboard without a license. When having sex, only the missionary position is legal. You may not fart in a public place after 6 P.M. on Thursdays. It is considered an offense to shower naked. These are just a few, there are literally hundreds more at www.dumblaws.com. go have a look for a laugh.

Al-back from the BigWhoop Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 some of them make sense if u argue that they were invented thousands of years ago and no one ever cared to change, but some of them were obviously made up (like the gorilla in the front seat) ------------------ <IMG SRC="http://www.angelfire.com/apes/mi/filme___al_back_from_the_big_whoop_03.gif" border=0> <IMG SRC="http://members.hostedscripts.com/randomimage.cgi?user=bigwhoop" border=0> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://members.hostedscripts.com/randomtext.cgi?user=bigwhoop"></SCRIPT><P align="RIGHT">(hit F5)<P/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
