Two posts in a day!!!! whats going on!!

Here are some fun filled strange laws:

1. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast is legally the property of the King; the tail, on the other hand, belongs to the Queen - in case she needs the bones for her corset.

2. In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman’s genitals but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination; he may only see their reflection in a mirror.

3. In London, it is illegal to flag down a taxi if you have the plague.

4. In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.

5. In Boulder, Colorado, it is illegal to kill a bird within the city limits and also to “own” a pet – the town’s citizens, legally speaking, are merely “pet minders”.

6. 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.

7. In Chester, Welshmen are banned from entering the city before sunrise and from staying after sunset.

8. In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon more than six-feet long.

9. In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on Sundays can be jailed.

10. In the UK, a man who feels compelled to urinate in public can do so only if he aims for his rear wheel and keeps his right hand on his vehicle.

hope you enjoyed those!!

Sadly law number 7 is never kept! Living in Chester I see far too many Welshmen around when technically by law they should be elsewhere.....tut tut!

Hope you're ok my wee Jonathan! Your life sure does sound exciting! Must have a chat on skype soon so you can get me completely updated!
