RIDICULOUS LAWS

Occasion to reflections...

Some of these laws are ridiculous, as from the moment of their acceptance has passed a lot of time and life there was absolutely another. Really, now it is difficult to imagine the husband who under the law should go or run with a red flag in front of the car of the spouse, warning all about the danger proceeding from the woman at the wheel (USA), or the obligatory requirement to hotel free of charge to feed a horse of the lodger.

Others — are completely not ridiculous, and more likely even are awful the cruelty — that it is necessary to kill the right consecrated with the law enemies (Welshmen or Scots in kind old England or Indians in the USA). Is, of course, and really silly, testifying or about dullness of the legislator (or vessels), or about dullness of the population which have achieved acceptance of such laws. Present, for example, the law regulating croak frogs.

Important that all laws resulted here — both ridiculous, and cruel, and frankly silly continue to operate, and each of them if there is in it a requirement, can be taken in this world.

the law should carry a hay bale or oats bag.France For owners of pigs illegal is to name a pig "Napoleon".Laws of the Asian states look ridiculous only at first

sight. On the business they have deep sense. For example, the Mongolian law according to which women are obliged to go with a naked breast. This law was quite pertinent in the Middle Ages: thus the Mongolian nomads took care of the enemy fighters who have been changed clothes by women.
