They won't have to worry about that situation.

Someone from England should chime in on how it's illegal to get married after 6pm and before 8am.

It's illegal in Oklahoma too. I've broken that law.

And we can't go whaling either. Oklahoma is no fun at all.

Ok some British ones that as far as I know have never been repealed:

It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down

In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store

Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day

The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen

and just to enlighten the one about the scotman a bit more in York, the actual law is:

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

This has reaffirmed the stereotype that Parliament consists of madhouse escapees. So is York, apparently.

I've never been to York, and the only Scots I know of are Sean Connery and Craig Ferguson (who defected to us anyway), but I think I found either of them wandering about armed with a bow and arrow, I might at least call the police.

In Sweden, it is illegal to complain that you wish that it was sunny it were sunny outside during the winter darkness...

No, not that it would be sunny outside, but that you wish it was sunny..

Stupid grammar :palm:

Well, if you saw Sean Connery dandering around with a bow and arrow you'd probably want to check for a film crew first

I have no idea who Craig Ferguson is...

As for Craig Ferguson, I have no idea.

The Houses of Parliament and Westminster Palace are one and the same building.

Anyway, no-one can beat this law in La Crosse, Wisconsin: "You cannot 'worry a squirrel'."
