    My favourite one is an American law: It is illegal to tie an alligator to a flagpole in Texas. That means someone in history wrestled an alligator, dragged it to a flagpole and then tied it on the flagpole, before they made it illegal to do so.

      @@euhm That would suggest that it is perfectly legal to tie an elephant to a fire hydrant, when you put them side by side. I can kinda understand the fire hydrant thing, though. I've seen photos where firefighters broke windows in a car parking directly in front of a fire hydrant, to pull the hose(?) through it. The car owner was also fined for blocking the way. In a video, a firefighter explained/showed that had they ran it over, under or around the car, there is a risk of it bending in a way that would block/slow down the water flaw and that is crucial to putting out fire.
      What I don't understand is why they didn't just use "(dangerous) animals" in those lawmakings. I mean you could technically tie a crocodile to a flagpole, no?

Essentially, this is a provision aimed at reducing salmon poaching by making the handling of poached salmon a criminal offence. Section 22 introduces a parallel provision into Scottish law.[3]"

    Being drunk in a pub?.... So where else can you be drunk if not in a pub? I totally didn't get this one.
    And sliding on a snow or ice?... All kids in my country would be jailed for this one... including some adults too. :D

      Did some background research on the drunkenness on, apparently it just gives the police some extra legroom when it comes to dealing with a drunk and disorderly person within a pub.
