*quietly hides the 110.000000001 pounds of potatoes that I'm holding*

 

[Fishmanic]

but you could still hold 109 pounds if you're strong enough...seems that would last quite a long time

 

[FishGuest5123]

Here’s one for you... In Texas, it is still on the books, that you can be hung for stealing a horse.

Old fashioned laws that never got removed when the legal system was amended.

There are laws about not tying/ hitching your horse to a milk cart, or any sort of sign, pole or motor vehicle.

There's a place in Alaska I think, where it's illegal to go outside without a gun coz the polar bears might get you.

There's a couple of laws about keeping dogs here that are antiquated and completely outrageous, I just can't think of them now. There was one where you could shoot your own dog and your neighbours dog if they were causing problems to livestock on your property. Our gun laws are so tight now most people can't get a gun, and if you shoot a dog, you get charged by the RSPCA and the council for animal cruelty.

There was a law in the US that said politicians could get a free bucket of spuds (or something like that) each week, that was a long time ago. It was intended to make sure the leaders had enough food to remain healthy and be able to govern the country.

Some of the laws are just ridiculous, the King or Queen of England can have your head cut off for not doing as your told. I doubt Queen Elizabeth would do anything like that coz she is GREAT (yes I like her), but Queen Victoria used that law a lot.

Off with your head!...

Well, did you know that Texas is the only State that can fly it’s flag at the same height as the American flag? Do you know the reason?

 

[Colin_T]

coz Texans are gun nuts and nobody will argue with them coz they shoot you

 

[FishGuest5123]

Close. They are the only State that was once an independent nation. (We do have a gun case ready for a small army too). Git ‘em!

 

[Colin_T]

You had your own president and currency too for a while if I recall properly.

Fun fact:
(about me)

I bang my head 200 times per day, hating myself.
And I'm still fat!

Not fat!

Huggable.

I tell myself I'm huggable*, so that means you must be, too.

*Or voluptuous, when I'm feeling cultured

Some of the laws are there because politicians will add random laws in in the Hope's that the bill will not pass.....when it does, the ridiculous laws are still there
