These are good!
There is one law here in the UK that is little known but absolutely true .......... dated back to the 1600's - when (in my opinion they had things very much better)!
A woman shall only have to put up with a new husband as an unsatisfactory lover for 363 days before she has every right to put in in the public stocks for humilation and scorn to be heaped upon him! There are many names that have been recorded so 'it' has been going on for years!
And what is the betting that it was a man the repealed that law? Probably just about 300 or so days after he was married!

In the days of outlawing the outlaws used to withdraw from the conurbations and live a lawless existence in the country or forest. This was all dandy in the 12th century but there is no room now for outlaw communities on mainland Europe in the 21st century. So - what we need is an island somewhere that they can be dumped on and left to stew in their own juice. This idea has been tried before of course and I suspect that Australia probably don't want any more of our convicts (even though they are descended from them) - The Greeks have hundreds of islands and I think a few are uninhabited - so perhaps they could spare one - preferably two (one per sex - they are not there to perpetuate themselves). Solved!

Think some of them are still in effect -- know a few should be and a few should be left off. donkeys and/or jackasses SHOULD be allowed to sleep in bathtubs--less politicians develope even more of a smell,, in some areas it takes more than 6 girls to support a house ,,,,The illegal smoking law IS in effect in cities across the US,,,,Camels are an indangered species, hunt Winstons,,,,
At any rate, it shows how our highly paid representatives choose to invest our money -------laughs of snickers ;0)

Boy, those Arizona people are strict, but I don't know why Maricopa County only permits six girls living in a house...that makes for very small houses of joy!

Most of those are a real hoot! LOL
But the sex/sodomy one is one that needs to stay with provisos...sex of ANY kind with an unwilling person needs to still be a law that has ramifications for such.

These are hilarious and indeed archaic I really think donkeys should be able to sleep in bathtubs though. IQ tests for politicians Yes. Very interesting though. It makes you wonder what caused some of these laws to be passed in the first place. Thanks for the giggle.

Some of those should be brought back. My favorites are the IQ test for politicians and the punishment for stealing soap. Chuckles and a star for you!

Great laws!!! They give us something to laugh about. There is one however that is still in force and should be. No one can refuse to give a person water. That's very sensible here because our summer temperatures can reach over 120%.

Those are cute Susie. Here in Charleston, if you are at a person of the opposite sex's house after midnight, you are considered married. I wonder what happens if it is a party, are you committing bigamy?

why can't our busy(ha) legislators find time for all the crazy laws that have been on the books since who knows how long to get them taken off. In Boston you can graze cattle in thePublic Gardens, so everyone, get those cattle and get them fed.
