thank ya 😉

If someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your commode, you must let them enter.

I never realised it was a written rule 😊 If anyone denies me this I'll get them arrested

Country: United Kingdom

Law: All English males over the age 14 are to carry out 2 or so hours of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy.

Explanation: This law dates from the middle ages when there was no standing army, so in times of war each gentry was required to produce a quota (depending on its size) of knights, archers, infantry, etc. As the church was the only centralized instrument of beauracracy (the lords were independent for the most part), they were used for such tasks.

Law: It is illegal for two adult men to have sex in the same house as a third person.

Explanation: Introduced to outlaw "molly houses" which began to appear in the big cities of England in the late 16th Century. In these bordellos, homosexuals engaged in sex, sado masochism, transvestitism etc., and they were perceived as a threat to public morality, and so outlawed.

😮 I haven't done any longbow practice 😗

but you can still shoot a scotsman on sunday, right?

San Francisco Laws

Giving or receiving oral sex is prohibited.

Persons classified as "ugly" may not walk down any street.

"Horses are forbidden to eat fire hydrants."

If your vehicle stalls and you leave it on the side of the road, you must mark the vehicle with a red, reflecting triangle. This equipment is only mandatory when the car stalls, not at any other times, however

A fee is levied on each purchaser of any plastic bottle which is returned upon return of the bottle
this aint dumb, makes people recycle

Beverages containing more than 4.75% alcohol may not be sold on election days.
he he he, it comes with an explanation though In the early 1900s, many workers were drunk on election days, greatly swerving their judgement. To ensure citizens keeping a clear mind when voting for public officials, this law was passed.

They all seem to be old laws. <<"The severest Penaltys will be suffered by any commoner who doth permit his animal to have carnal knowledge of a pet of the Royal House (enacted by George I)">> Alot of recent ones would qualify as very dumb too.

well, there are a lot of silly laws that might still be "in power" but just not enforced

Oh well no stupid Laws from England then, they all seem perfectly reasonable to me 😄

says enough already

Attempt to escape from prison is not illegal. However, if one he is caught he is required to serve out the remainder of his term.
