Dumb Laws from around the world
Posted on | January 8, 2009 |
I was surfing the net looking at random blogs and I came across a site that had some really interesting laws from around the world listed. I don’t think they are all true as there are some from Australia that I just can’t believe, for example a taxi driver must have a bail of hay in the boot (lol). Some are pretty funny though and worth a read even if it is just to relieve the boredom of being at work.
Did you know:
In France “No pig may be addressed as Napoleon by its owner”.
In Germany “Every office must have a view of the sky, however small”.
In Canada “Citizens may not publicly remove bandages”.
In South Africa “Young people wearing bathing suits are prohibited from sitting less than 12 inches apart”.
In Switzerland “It is illegal to flush the toilet after 10pm”.
There are plenty more to read at http://www.dumblaws.com
Hopefully now when you are on holiday you won’t get arressted.

Those are great! I have heard of some really silly ones in different U.S. states. I guess they must have been needed and pertinent at some point, but just were never taken off the books. Thanks for sharing them!

Hey thanks for reading, I noticed there were heaps from America on the site I mentioned too. I just didn’t have enough space in the blog to write them all down

I enjoyed that site very much. Thanks for the link. I also liked the “Dumb Criminals” page on that site.
