    I thought for sure this thread was going to be about someone who got arrested, but looking for a way to stay on track while locked up!

    i thought the exact same thing! haha

    here are some laws from the UK:

    It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down

    In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter

    A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman’s helmet.

    It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing

    It is illegal to enter the houses of Parliament in a suit of armour

    In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow

    In the UK it is illegal to DIE in Parliment! Considering the age of some of the old fogie politicians.....
    Also a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself in public - don't want to be near for that one and finally it is illegal to be topless (women) unless you are a clerk in a tropical fish shop ( this only applies in Liverpool but no idea why). Crazy lawsHa ha ha

    Wow. These are some crazy laws. I live in OR, but I can't think of any stupid laws off the top of my head. I know California has the law that your not allowed to carry any weapons in your car. You have to have your gun locked in its case, and the bullets in the glovebox, or something like that. To me, that's a stupid law. :\ Not so much crazy, but stupid. It doesn't even matter if you have a concealed license or not. And cops can't carry when not on duty as well.


    Hmmm. I should look up some stupid crazy laws in oregon I think :)

    I live in Georgia, it's illegal to:

    1. Keep a donkey in the bathtub.
    2. Tie a giraffe to a telephone pole or street lamp.
    3. Carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket if it is Sunday.

    Just in the last year the law was changed to allow alcohol sales on Sunday.

    In Chicago, you can not eat in a building that is on fire...

    You may not fish while sitting on a giraffe's neck

    you can't drink beer out of a bucket while sitting on the curb in the Pullman neighborhood...

    I am baffled as to why these laws even had to be made. I wonder how much of a problem giraffe fishing and bucket drinking were lol
