Re: Americans check this out!

also the one for texas that says "2. It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing." is bullshit too

Re: Americans check this out!
I don't know all of them but I know that are much more then that.
Also add,
Georgia:
If someone in a restaurant asks for tea, and does not specify whether they want sweetened or unsweetened. The waiter(ess) must ask the customer what they want. Violators may be fined or jailed.
I am not sure on specifics but I live in GA, and I think this actually happens.

Re: Americans check this out!
These are the sort that are technically in place but nobody listens to.
Like in the UK, Mince Pies are techinaclly illigal. Some king apparently didn't like them, so he banned them, and the ban never got around to being lifted.
Similarly, In Hereford, Its legal to shoot a Welshman with your crossbow, on the high street, on a saturday. As a Welshman living in Hereford, I can't say im particularly worries about that.
