According to U.K. law,a pregnant woman can urinate anywhere she wants in public - even in a policeman's helmet.

Other silly British laws:

Quote

* In Chester, you can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight.

* You may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close in Hereford.

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

* In York, excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.

* Committing suicide is classified as a capital crime.

* Placing a postage stamp that bears the Queen (or King) upside down is considered treason.

* A license is required to keep a lunatic.

The one about the Eskimos and the freezer cracked me up. When I lived in South Dakota, we used to keep food frozen in our garage in the winter. We would transfer it to our freezer a week or so before we would cook it, to begin the thawing process! Crazy! :wacko:
