Residents in a British city are being asked not to shoot Scottish people with a bow and arrow.
Residents of York can "legally" attack Scots within their city walls, according an ancient by-law which has never been repealed.
In a
bid to improve Anglo-Scottish relations, Ewan and Gill Main are asking York citizens to sign a treaty promising to never shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.
Mr and Mrs Main plan to tour York for two weeks, before heading to Edinburgh to present Scotland with the list of signatures.

Hehehe, that reminds me of the Three Hundred and Thirty Five Years' War between the Netherlands and a bunch of English Islands.

I would guess so! The Scots seem to have a thing about being shot with a bow and arrow, apparently otherwise they don't mind what you shoot them with! :? :D _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.

And I see Scotswomen are still game for the bows-n-arrows crowd, too... :DD I hope these guys aren't lawyers. Remind me never to hire them if I need legal representation. You could drop Cadillac Escalades through those holes... :lol: :wink:

Until 1903, French governments traditionally granted double citizenship to all Scots : French and Scottish. Probably the reason why today most Scots drive on the roads of France with a conspicuous sticker reading Écosse on their cars — bows and arrows are reserved for the English here, and bordeaux for the Scots. Non mais !
This reminds me of a game, the name of which I forget now, where you find out about weird laws in the US. Like "in Lousiana it's against the law to point at somebody with a stick that's longer than 9 inches" and stuff like that. I just made this one up but there are some truly bizarre laws out there. :gogol2:

My favorite one is from New Hampshire: "On Sundays, it is illegal to relieve yourself while looking up." :lol:
Michigan is my favourite: Any person over the age of 12 may have a license for a handgun as long as he/she has not been convicted of a felony. :D
Still I wonder, if someone would actually abuse these shitty laws would he or she get away with it?
Actually Sander, I just got back from breaking the law in New Jersey: "You cannot pump your own gas." :wink: The gas attendant was taking too damn long....

It's illegal to take a lion to the movies.
Any suggestions on how else to entertain a lion? :?

Drivers must yield to pedestrians who are standing on the sidewalk.
What are the drivers doing on the sidewalk in the first place? :shock: _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.

When two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.
Er... that might take a while...
A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.
Now that's just basic good manners, isn't it? _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.
