    We have some funny/ stupid ones in the UK, most of them are throw back from a time long gone but they are still on the books (but obviously not enforced or are irrelevant now).

    "With the exception of carrots, most goods may not be sold on Sunday."

    "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."

    "Since 1313, MPs are not allowed to don armour in Parliament."

    "London Hackney Carriages (taxis/cabs) must carry a bale of hay and a sack of oats."

    "Any person found breaking a boiled egg at the sharp end will be sentenced to 24 hours in the village stocks (enacted by Edward VI)."

    "A bed may not be hung out of a window."

    "It is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance."

    "No cows may be driven down the roadway between 10 AM and 7 PM unless there is prior approval from the Commissioner of Police."

    There are many many more... :lol:

    In the UK, it's illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament. Not quite sure how they'd go about enforcing that one, but there you go.

    In NJ there are no self service gas stations, so when you pull in one stay in your car.

    I believe theres a law in a small town somewhere in England that if a Welshman climbs over your fence at midnight you are legally allowed to kill him, but only with a crossbow.

    But that could be one of those urban legendy type laws that everyone knows but doesnt exist.
