Random laws



 - If you happen to be in Prague following a nuclear explosion and need to make your escape by taxi, the driver is legally entitled to charge you three times the standard fare.  Yeah!  like you're going to haggle!

 - In Tropea, Italy, women are not allowed to appear nude on a beach if they are "fat, ugly, or generally unattractive."  At a guess this law was passed by "fat, ugly, or generally unattractive" men whose homes over look the beach.

 - Good luck trying to work out if you've broken this Scottish law.  "In the Nuts (unground), (other than ground nuts) Order, the expression shall have reference to such nuts, other than ground nuts, as would but for this amending Order not qualify as nuts(unground)(other than ground nuts) by reason of their begin nuts(unground)"

 - During the reign of Elizabeth 1, a law stated any woman who led a man into marriage through the use of false hair, make up, false hips, high heeled shoes, or other devices, should be punished with the penalties of witchcraft.  Just think!  In earlier times, half the Kardashians wiped out in one hit!

 - In Seattle, Washington, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon over six foot long.  This one i look on as a real challenge.  I'm five foot tall so where the hell would i hide it?

 - And just for fun:- English translation of a road sign in Tokyo.  'When a passenger of the foot moves into sight tootie the horn trumpet.  If he still obstacles your passage, tootie him with vigour and express by word of mouth warning "Hi!!"'
