Re: Stupid Laws

Ahh... silly Americans. That's what you get for dividing your country into smaller countires and allow them to make their own laws.

In Seattle if a woman is sitting on a man's lap while riding a bus, train, or trolley, there must be a pillow between them

Yeah, ruin the fun... thank God we have "the right to carry girls on your lap" over here.

In Seattle it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon that is over 6 feet in length.

Hmm... quite a feat to conceal it in the first place..

It is illegal to catch a fish by throwing a rock at it

In your FACE, cavemen!

Re: Stupid Laws

Im not sure if I should say this but Im going to anyway. Dont read if your easily offended.

Spoiler

Apparently there was an old law in WV that said you could have sex with an animal that was 40 or more pounds as long as you owned it. I dont know how credible it is cause I heard it on the radio, they were having some sort of weird sex laws special. . . I laughed my fricken butt off . . .then hung my head in shame

Re: Stupid Laws

It is illegal to give any pie to fellow diners. It is also illegal to take unfinished pie home. All pie must be eaten on the premises.

All hail the Sacrament of Pie. The Sacrament of Pie must be obeyed at all times, or you heretic sinners of the False Dessert shall burn forever in the never-ending baking Pie.

More likely these are stupid laws made ages ago that nobody ever bothered to change - I doubt you seriously could get jailed for transporting ice cream in your pockets on a Sunday. Sounds to me like some relic from the days where Sunday was the church going day and no work at all was allowed and all that.

Re: Stupid Laws

Well Tsuyu, if you knew a little something about American history you would know that the government didn't divide the states, they divided themselves...

Re: Stupid Laws

Pontification:

And if you knew anything, you'd know there was nothing to divide, only something to unify right up until some idiots started acting instead of talking in the 1860s.

From the very beginning the states were separate-- hell, we even fought wars among ourselves. For instance, before Mason and Dixon drew their Line, Maryland and Pennsylvania fought a war over three counties called Delaware today and a bunch of southern PA and northern MD, called Cresap's War.

Virginia (or William Claiborne, at least) fought a war against Maryland over the government of his settlement at Kent Island.

We were separate colonies, then unified, then new areas entered into the unification-- not anything split up, save things like Kentucky and West Virginia and Maine and Delaware.

Hell, according to the Constitution (it's really general) we could induct anything into the Union as a state (again, unification, not division). Hey, Tsuyu, think Sweden would be interested? [grin]

Pontification End.

My Comments:


Maryland:
<OL>You cannot swear while inside the city limits of Baltimore.
You cannot throw a bail of hay out of a second story window in Annapolis. [Thanks to Kathleen for those two]

Heh. The first one is definitely not gonna happen, but I somehow doubt we'd have trouble with the second.

Oh, and remind me not to move to Minnesota-- ruin the fun I've never had.

Re: Stupid Laws

some of these were pretty funny... although a number of the ones for here were wrong... so they may be off with some of the laws for other nations as well... still a funny read though

Re: Stupid Laws

That cracked me up looking at all these. I can just picture someone being arrested for flicking a booger into the wind. "Drop the finger buddy and no one gets hurt!" Hilarious.
