    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?

    • @CelestisForgeUK
      @CelestisForgeUK 3 роки тому +1052

      Might sound like so, but the UK has a very specific definition of “being drunk”.
      It’s based on the ability of the human body to process alcohol. Having some light headed fun is perfectly fine. It’s when you go over the limit of your body’s ability to process alcohol where problems start. And that’s a no-no. To be fair, as long you don’t do something stupid, nobody will charge you for being drunk in a pub. However, if, at that point, you attempt to buy alcohol, or you buy alcohol for someone who is already drunk, and you make a scene when the bartender or cashier refuses the sale, you could be in some serious trouble. Then the “being drunk” will be added to the charges on top of whatever else you did.

    Fun fact: The last law (Handling salmon in suspicious circumstances) is actually supposed to refer to illegal fishing, for example, if a Scottish fisherman goes fishing in Norwegian waters (which is actually surprisingly common, because Norwegian salmon is apparently really popular in Britain for some reason). However, while the law does specifically state that, it doesn't exclude other crimes. Thanks to another law, what Matt did was illegal (since he was the aggressor), but Tom's counterattack was perfectly legal, since it can be considered "self defence."

    • @beeble2003
      @beeble2003 8 років тому +37

      It wasn't self-defence: it was a revenge attack. Tom had already disarmed Matt, so was in no further danger.
