Crazy rules & laws

What crazy rules or laws interfere in your daily life?

Learning to drive in Ireland is quite the challenge. You HAVE to do 12 lessons and when you pass your driving test, you HAVE to be accompanied by another driver for up to two years.

Today at work, I went through my required annual routine of getting verbally quizzed on safety procedures, being personally monitored by a supervisor, watching an hour worth of safety videos, taking two written tests on safety, and getting verbally quizzed again. It was the most bureaucratic day at my job of shoving boxes into a truck ever.

What the hell

why?


Here are some of my favourite old British laws that are still in existence as the goverment hasn't got around to changing them yet.

None of these effect anyones daily life but they are fun t:

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 monarch upside-down.

2)In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.

3)Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day

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

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

6)The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen.

7)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.

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

9)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.

Wow, I think I'd rather walk than have to put up with that stuff! Can you get an inflatable dummie and put next to you and claim it's another driver?

Got no idea. The good news is, I'm moving to Edinburgh in September so I won't need to apply to stupid laws from Ireland.

That's my future plan.

Crap! I suppose an amendment to that stupid law would require an above referenced wife to shut up and get her husband a beer and maintain their barefoot and pregnant status right after the Sunday beating!
