For ten years I scoured the globe in search of the fabled Paris Eye Diamond (as big as man's heart, if that man is in love). Once I'd stolen the diamond from a cartel that consisted of Royalty, Billionaires and some bloke called Terry, I took a chartered boat to the Polynesian Island of Wiki-wiki-hoo-ha, there to construct...a time machine! The climate was harsh, the food terrible, and the twice-nightly Cabaret appallingly amateurish, but I muddled through and finally, finally the time machine was complete, but my plan was not yet workable. In my haste I had forgotten the most important part; to learn French!!! Having my time machine at hand I raced back through history to collect famous Frenchies* - Napoleon, Balzac, Eric Cantona! - so that they could teach me the mother tongue of La Belle France. Five years of intense study and I could put my plan into action. I raced back to the Paris of 1790 and there I assumed the identity of the scholarly scholar Hubert Augustus Lemonade, and through the following years I forged relationships with a series of influential politicians. Gaining their trust through 'favours' and the baking of croissants, I managed, after ten years to convince enough of them to enact the Trouser Law! And all of this in an attempt to get the women of Paris to take off their trousers! But, in the end....it was far easier than dating ![]() ![]() *this is in no way a ripoff of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, even though it is Last edited by Moejoe; 11-17-2009 at 08:27 PM. |

Just to observe the lunacy in the UK also....
Silly UK laws: 1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament 2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British king or queen’s image upside-down 3. It is illegal for a woman to be topless in Liverpool except as a clerk in a tropical fish store 4. Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is banned 5. If someone knocks on your door in Scotland and requires the use of your toilet, you are required to let them enter 6. In the UK a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman’s helmet 7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen 8. It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing 9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament wearing a suit of armour 10. It is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls of York, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow 11. It is illegal to hang washing in the street 12. It is illegal to beat a carpet in the street 13. It is illegal to fly a kite in the street 14. It is illegal to be drunk in charge of a horse, cow or steam engine 15. It is illegal to fire a cannon close to a dwelling house 16. It is illegal to bet or gamble in the library reading room 17. It is illegal to use any slide upon ice or snow 18. It is illegal to drive cattle through the streets of London 19. It is illegal to sing any profane or obscene song or ballad, or use any profane or obscene language 20. It is illegal to light a firework! (seriously: Section 28 of the Town Police Clauses Act 1847) |

Okay -just to be fair to everyone ....
Silly laws from around the world: 1. In Ohio, it is illegal to get a fish drunk 2. In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation 3. A male doctor in Bahrain can only examine the genitals of a woman in the reflection of a mirror 4. In Switzerland, a man may not relieve himself standing up after 10pm 5. It is illegal to be blindfolded while driving a vehicle in Alabama 6. In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on a Sunday could be jailed 7. Women in Vermont must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth 8. In Milan, it is a legal requirement to smile at all times, except during funerals or hospital visits 9. There is no age of consent in Japan 10. In France, it is illegal to name a pig Napoleon 11. In Calgary in Canada, one must have a hitching post outside of their business establishment. 12. Still in Calgary, if one is kicked out of the city, the accused is entitled a horse and a day’s worth of rations to see them to the next city.

And it's illegal to light fireworks here. There is a general dispensation on December 31st from 10:00 till 02:00 on January 1st. You will have to ask for dispensation if you want to light fireworks at other times of the year. Should be 24 hours a day, all over the world, unless it's a urinal. |

I especially like some of the laws found in Alaska...
1: A law in Fairbanks does not allow moose to have intimate relations with one another on city streets. (And you will enforce this how?) 2: Moose may not be viewed from an airplane. (This is just silly) 3: While it is legal to shoot bears, waking a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photograph is prohibited. (why would I even want to?) 4: It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane. (sometime, somewhere in Alaska.. this MUST have happened, why else forbid it?) 5: No one may tie their pet dog to the roof of a car. (Oh rly?) 6: It is considered an offense to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose. (riiiiight!) |
