these ones are from my home Australia
crazy stuff!! I found them at www.dumblaws.com :p

A life sentence is 25 years.

Children may not purchase cigarettes, but they may smoke them.

You may never leave your car keys in an unattended vehicle.

It is illegal to roam the streets wearing black clothes, felt shoes and black shoe polish on your face as these items are the tools of a cat burgular.

It is illegal to walk on the right hand side of a footpath.

Under Australian Communications Authority (ACA) regulations, a modem can't pick up on the first ring.

Taxi cabs are required to carry a bale of hay in the trunk. (what the hell???)

Bars are required to stable, water and feed the horses of their patrons.

The legal age for straight sex is 16, unless the person is in the care/custody of the older person, in which case it is 18.

Only licensed electricians may change a light bulb.

It is illegal to wear hot pink pants after midday Sunday. ( I can get away with it though)

You must have a neck to knee swimsuit in order to swim at Brighton Beach.

Until the Port Arthur Killings it was legal to own an AK-47 but not legal to be gay.

Lawmakers are proposing a new law that will not allow anyone to come closer than 100 meters from a dead whale's carcass.

Cap guns are illegal.

Ropes may not be strung across a highway.

No one may bite off another�s leg.

Rhode Island recently applied to the US Government to make all the coastal waters of Rhode Island a "No Discharge Zone".

Impersonating a town sealer, auctioneer, corder of wood, or a fence-viewer is against the law.

Riding a horse over any public highway for the purpose of racing, or testing the speed of the horse is illegal.

Exercising any labor, business, or work, or using any game, sport, play, or recreation, or causing any of the above to be done to or by your children, servants, or apprentices on the first day of the week (Sunday) results in a penalty of $5 for the first offense and $10 for the second.

Professional sports, except ice polo and hockey, must obtain a license to play games on Sunday.

It is considered an offense to throw pickle juice on a trolley.
