and legally you can kill him with it... Because they discovered an old law that permits it.

I wonder if Milk Paton is free tomorrow.

Apparently you can only hit him in the back though.

Even worse than that...in some parts of Lancashire it's illegal to sell Fish and Chips on a Saturday afternoon.

That falls into the category with those other weird laws, like all us English are supposed to practice with our long bows for 2 hours every sunday, on pain of death. Or something like that. So all you lazy asses are breaking ancient law! I personally practice for 9 hours every sunday, shooting arrows at a minigun rate of fire, single handedly decimating the woodlands of the UK via arrow usage and simultaneously sinking the British isle as a result of the trillions of holes I have punctured in it.

....

Ok, I fired a bow once when I was 12 and missed.

Bollocks, I was born on the wales border, nearest hospital was in Chester...good thing I wasn't mistaken for a real welshman .

Fallout, I'd rather die a horrible than not be lazy...Also, I tried archery too...I'm so much better at darts, at least I hit the target more often... (And the wall around my uncles house) Best game with darts is 'killer'.

Laws indeed are silly. We could go into American laws too, a lot of those a amusing, like it is illegal to have a sexual encounter with a porcupine and in some states you're not allowed to push a live deer out of a moving aircraft and in Texas, a man can, I think it was to shoot (might be wrong) his wife if dinner isn't ready when he arrives. Most of those laws are 'para-thought' and maybe inaccurate because of crap recall.

Hey. Here're a few choice ones I just found online.

In Alabama, it is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.

The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.

Women can sell items and be topless in Liverpool, England—but only in tropical fish stores

Here's the real longbow law:
All English Men over 14 are meant to carry out 2 hours (or so) of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy

It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle. (England)

It is illegal to be a drunk in possession of a cow. (Scotland)

Ok, bored of reading those now. I'm going to Indonesia for a 5 knuckle shuffle.

Then you'll have been born in the same hospital as me! Whereabouts are you now?
