Well I have to say Alaska has just come off my holiday list check out this law...
"It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane." well dang that is all my holiday fun spoilt!
New York is also off as I fancied a spot of BASE jumping and they said "The penalty for jumping off a building is death." ::)
Fozzer will be in trouble as he lives in the UK and "It is illegal to be a drunk in possession of a cow."
Canada came off the list as the wife noticed "It is illegal to pretend to practice witchcraft.", she said that took all the fun out of killing goats in the garden at midnight to scare the neighbours!
But Sweden is sounding like a gas "While prostitution is legal, it is illegal to use the services of a prostitute." :o ;D

I'm moving to New Mexico "Idiots may not vote." I think I'd feel quite safe there ;D The question is how do they work out who is an idiot? Is there a test? ;D ;D ;D
Oh but Tennessee is off the list as "It is illegal to use a lasso to catch a fish.", is there any other fun way other than dynamite?
And in Georgia they have no sense of humour "It is illegal for a chicken to cross the road." I mean come-on guys, how are you going to make a single decent joke?
Mind you the UK is looking radical...
In York "Excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow."
In Hereford "You may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close." (happy hunting Fozzer ;))
Chester is pretty radical as well "You can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight."
And Liverpool is just weird "It is illegal for a woman to be topless in public except as a clerk in a tropical fish store."

Ah crap, i guess i better confess all those fish caught that way during my last trip.

I always knew there would be a legal way we could go on a welshman hunt. Saddle up guys, Foz's bikes shall be our steeds, two to a bike. ;D :o

 Getting back to New Mexico, I heard that they recently past a law stating that a dog riding in a passenger seat of a car must wear a seat belt!(?)

And in good old California, "a child six years old or less, regardless of weight, or sixty pounds or less, regardless of age, must be in a childs seat while riding in a vehicle".

 It makes you wonder how we made it to adulthood.

Some of those laws are down right crazy! Obviously we've been expected to move on since the middle ages with their crossbows... we've got guns now! :D ::)  
Much easier to shoot the Scotman with an Ak-47 than with a 8ft longbow. ::)
Well as my dad always said to me The Law is an ass!  ;D

In Lexington Kentucky.... By law, anyone who has been drinking is "sober" until he or she "cannot hold onto the ground."
Thats my personal fave from that site.
