I got these ‘weird laws in effect around the world’ from Sangeetha’s blog. My comments are in purple.
- It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament in UK (so please die elsewhere)
- In France, it is forbidden to call a pig Napoleon. (yes, but can you call Napoleon a pig?)
- In Ohio, it is against the state law to get a fish drunk.(but my aquarium is filled with beer!!)
- In UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants; even, if she so requests, in a policeman’s helmet. (does he have to wear it afterwards?)
- In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation. (I would never have made it past the age of 13 in that country)
- In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon more than six feet long. (so a concealed weapon of 5 feet 11 inches is fine?)
- In Vermont, women must get written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth. (who checks up if it was actually their husband who signed the permission slip?)
- In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman’s genitals but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examinations; he may only see their reflections in a mirror. (or else he may go blind!)
- In Thailand, it is illegal to leave your house if you are not wearing underwear (damn!)
- Picking your nose on Saturday is forbidden in Israel. (on the other 6 days – dig away)
- In Denmark, attempt to escape from prison is not illegal; however, if one is caught, he is required to serve out the remainder of his term. (so don’t get caught)
- In Connersville, Wisconsin, no man can shoot a gun while his female partner is having a sexual orgasm. :lol:
Ok, which one is the most weird? I was actually hoping to tour Thailand without any undies and shoot guns in Connersville while giving an orgasm to my lady friend.
These are hilarious. The orgasm one has really got me. Who thinks of these things in the first place? What a wacky world we live in.
Did you know that in New York, it is illegal to urinate on a bird!
