You Fucking Muppet Lawmakers

Everyone knows of some stupid law that still exists whether still in force from a bygone era or just because the people making the laws were complete anal retards. Let's face it, the silly book started it with some classics but as tomorrows post is related to the Big Book of Bullshit, I shall refrain from quoting any today. Instead, here are a few of the other juicy ones I have found - none of which apply in Goth World....

  • Alabama: Use of motor boats forbidden on city streets - (seems a nice trick if you could do it)
  • Alaska: It is forbidden to push a moose out of a plane in motion - (what if he has a parachute though?)
  • L.A.: If robbing a bank, shooting at the teller with a water gun is prohibited - (bound to happen)
  • Georgia: It is a misdemeanour for any citizen to attend church worship on Sunday unless he is equipped with a rifle and it is loaded - (I'm moving there !!)
  • Illinois: No monster may enter the city limits - (that's why they don't have a Vampires R Us)
  • Maine: Illegal to bite the landlord, no matter how much he deserves it - (hee hee)
  • Oklahoma: Whale hunting is strictly forbidden throughout the entire state - (in a land-locked state - long range harpoons I suppose)
  • Canada: It is illegal to set fire to the wooden leg of a wooden legged man - (spoil all the fun, bastards)
  • Canada: You may not swear in French - (didn't want to anyway)
  • Ireland: It is illegal for a student to walk through Trinity College without a sword - (make for some good arguments then)
  • England: With the exception of carrots, most goods may not be sold on Sunday - (WTF is so good about carrots?)
  • England: You can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight - (bastards)
  • England: Excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow - (consistent bastards though)
  • Scotland: It is illegal to be a drunk in possession of a cow - (presume that excludes spouses)
  • Australia: It is illegal to dress up as batman - (fancy dress party fucked then)
  • Belgium: A driver who needs to turn through oncoming traffic has the right of way unless he slows down or stops - (see that one in action every day)
  • France: Between the hours of 8AM and 8PM, 70% of music on the radio must be by French artists - (but it's shit)
  • Israel: It is illegal for a chicken to lay an egg on a Friday or Saturday - (time to get the corks out, or in even)


Feel free to add to the list.....

You notice that I do not overflow the French frame!!

The law of 26 Brumaire the year IX of the Republic arranges:

" Every woman wishing to get dressed as man has to appear at the Police headquarters to obtain the authorization from it ". "... This authorization can be given only in view of a certificate of an officer of health ".

Two circulars of 1892 and 1909 authorize the feminine port of the pants if the woman holds by the hand a handlebars of bicycle or the reins of a horse!

- Everybody has to have a bale of hay at home in the case or king would pass with his horse.
- It is formally forbidden to call his pig "Napoleon".

"Belgium: A driver who needs to turn through oncoming traffic has the right of way unless he slows down or stops - (see that one in action every day)
" just to inform you the law was changed a few weeks ago to be 'including all vehicles that slow down OR stop", it's upped the scariness of the chicken run.

How about:

In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation.

In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.

In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon more than six-feet long.

The last one really cracks me up. What? Six feet? Where?
