Odd Laws
Does anyone know of some really odd laws?
like it is illigal to sit on the curb in Thousand oaks, CA.
Or in El Paso it is illigal to sell ice that was made from water that did not come from El Paso.
anyone got anything else interesting?

All London cabs must carry a bale of hay in the boot (trunk). They don't but I guess it dates back to the days of horse drawn cabs.
British naval servicemen are the only military personnel that do not have to stand up when our national anthem is played. They are excused as on board old ships it was impossible to do so.
All sturgeon caught in British waters must be offered to the Queen.
You cannot be convicted of vagrancy if you have a silver coin in your pocket.

I think any silver coin will do. And hey!!! There's no euros in the UK (yet). That's for Johnny Foreigner. 
We still have the good old pound... even though I haven't lived there for 8 years.
Here's another one about her Madge The Queen (God bless her and all who sail in her etc.)... the Queen owns all the swans in Britain, except those caught by guildsmen of London on the Thames during an annual festival called 'swan upping'.
... OK, who just sn1ggered at the phrase 'swan upping'???

Guilty as charged.
