RIGHTEOUS RULES AND LOONY LAWS.COME ON!
WE'RE EXPERIENCING A BIT OF A HEATWAVE AT THE MOMENT AND ONE PARTICULAR RECENT NEWS ARTICLE MADE ME RATHER HAPPY.
A group of teenage boys confounded the school rules of not being allowed to wear shorts by all turning up in skirts.
Slam dunk to the boys!!!
Things like this put a big smile on my face because I'm a bit of a rule breaker when it comes to utter nonsense and people in authority relying on them without sense or reason.
Latest update is that through media exposure of their incredibly unfair ruling, the school has decided to change the rule from next year!
WHY NEXT YEAR!?! THEY'RE STILL BEING IDIOTS!!!
It would have been sooooo much better to have just smiled, congratulated the boys on their imagination and ingenuity and immediately given them the thumbs up to wearing shorts.
Anyway, it got me thinking about other stupid rules which led me to discovering these lovely laws of utter lunacy.
ALASKA - (Clearly a serial killers dream State)
Persons may not live in a trailer as it is being hauled across the city.
AND
Persons may not allow “attractive nuisances” to exist. ???!
AND
In a place aptly named Tombstone, it is illegal for men and women over the age of 18 to have less than one missing tooth visible when smiling.
ARIZONA AND OKLAHOMA
It is illegal to have a sleeping donkey in your bathtub after 7 pm.
CALIFORNIA

Who exactly are they gonna charge if this law is broken???
CHICAGO
It is against the law to eat in a place that's on fire.
Was someone once so enthusiastic about roasts they decided to experiment on themselves?
CONNETICUT
In order for a pickle to officially be considered a pickle, it must bounce.
Well that's a weight off my mind.
FLORIDA
If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.
Did someone once dream up an excuse for not buying a ticket by writing, "But I couldn't get one, there was an elephant tied to the meter and it trumpeted at me and I had to run away!"........So the person reading this will have thought, Phwrerrgghh, what nonsense, I'm going to double your fine for making up this ridiculous story........!??? But wait a minute, what if there are people with pet elephants parking them for free?......You can't be too careful, this could be a tidy little money spinner......."Maud! Make a note to bring elephants up at our next meeting".
AND
It's illegal to fart in a public place after 6 pm on a Thursday.
AND
Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal!
Mind you, you can never be too careful. The numbing effects of a few Jaeger Bombs n Tequila Slammers and those old beer gogglescould make a mobile pin cushion look very attractive indeed.
Two drunk Russian tourists did try it out in 2009 and needed medical treatment to remove some quills that had become rather attached to them. They escaped the full force of the law by flying home where further treatment of soothing ointments was continued.
AUSTRALIA
TAKE NOTE CATH.....
Only a qualified electrician is allowed to change a light bulb in Victoria, Australia
Apparently, rebels who defy this law could receive a fine of up to $10
AND IN CASE YOU KNOW ANY CHAPS WITH A PENCHANT FOR FROCKS
Men are free to cross-dress, just as long as their dresses are not strapless.
(Yes, bare man shoulders should definitely be against the law and anyway a strap is always so good at drawing the eye away from all that stubble n hairy chests)
BONKERS BRITAIN
In Britain, it is illegal to import potatoes into England or Wales if you have reasonable cause to believe that they are Polish in case they have ring rot.
AND
Fancy some Salmon for the Halibut? Well best Mullet over or you could get a visit from the Frying Squad because it's illegal to handle a Salmon in suspicious circumstances?
ONE FOR THE LADIES...
Since 1837 women have been allowed to bite off a man's nose if he kisses her against her will.
RIGHT ROYAL RIGHTS
IF you're exercising your dog and some Royalty happen to stroll by with their pooches, head for the hills before your mutt sniffs any a romance in the air because a law enacted by George I states that: "The severest penaltys will be suffered by any commoner who doth permit his animal to have carnal knowledge of a pet of the Royal house."
AND LASTLY BUT VERY IMPORTANTLY, NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO DIE IN THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
(Thus far it has warded off all attempts for anyone to do this, but everyone is still eagerly awaiting the first corpses trial)
DENMARK
Fancy naming your child something unique? Well think again because you can only give your child a name that has been approved by the Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs. If your name isn't on their list you have to apply to them to get special permission.
In France those party poopers won't let you marry a dead person or name a pig Napoleon.
In Hong Kong there’s a law that allows a wife to kill her husband if she finds him cheating as long as she does it with her bare hands.
SWITZERLAND
Flushing the toilet after 10pm in apartments is illegal.
I wonder if nearby house owners run emergency rental schemes?
AND FINALLY.....
AFRICAN POLICE WILL LITERALLY BELIEVE ANYTHING
2009 - Police in Nigeria held a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery.
Vigilantes seized the goat, saying it was an armed robber who had used black magic to transform himself into an animal to escape after trying to steal a Mazda 323.
Kwara state police spokesman Tunde Mohammed said.
'We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody. !!!!!
No I kid you not (urggghhh) Belief in witchcraft is widespread in Nigeria and local residents even went to the police station to check the goat out.
It was also photographed in one nationalnewspaper on its knees next to a pile of straw.
(Don't you just despair of kids these days)
AND FOR ALL THOSE REBELS OUT THERE, HERE'S THE FOO FIGHTERS WITH THEIR AWESOME 'THE PRETENDER'
