America:

You may not fart in a public place after 6 P.M. on Thursdays. (make sure you consume your beans prior to Thursday morning!!).
No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. (How do they punish the car?).
Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship. (How do they punish the animals? Hee Hee!).
The value of Pi is 4, and not 3.1415..... (What? Honest to God that was a law in the good old US of A!!).
The penalty for jumping off a building is death. (IF you survive that is!).
The penalty for jumping off a building is death. (IF you survive that is!).
England:
It is legal for an Englishman to shoot a Welshman with a longbow, provided the Englishman is in England and the Welshman is on the Welsh side of the border. (I assume the this works both ways right?!!).
It is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance. (Huh??!).
London Hackney Carriages (taxis/cabs) must carry a bale of hay and a sack of oats. (What?!!).
A bed may not be hung out of a window. (You can however hung you couch out to dry BUT only on Wednesdays. Nah! Made that last bit up).
It is illegal for a Member of Parliament to enter the House of Commons wearing a full suit of armour. (It is legal for any Tom, Mohammed and Hamza to do it though).
OK so I am now officially bored with this as only USA and England seem to have t
his laws.

LOL! I wonder who though of them, who passed them and who wrote them up and put then into circulation! I would love to meet them :)
Hilarious! I remember reading somewhere that suicide is illegal and the person succeeding is liable to be punished for it. I guess frenzied lawmaking can make common sense evaporate.
Young women the law is no laughing matter.
