Most likely dates back to colonial times to prevent fires. Apparently there are weirder laws still on the books all over New England ! Apparently you can't throw pickle juice on a trolley !! :eek: I guess I'm staying in on New Years Eve ! :ROFLMAO:

Every State has some interesting blue laws. Often still on the books cause they're so stupid it's a waste of time to take them off the books. We all technically break laws that just aren't applicable or worried about. And some of them are also listed while ignoring the critical details of the law. Like what context they apply to.

And in Old England too.

Apparently any licensed cab driver is legally allowed to relieve himself on the offside wheel of his cab is one of the funnier ones.

It is also illegal to be drunk in a pub.

But the ol pissup in a brewery is still on so all good.

Isn’t it that one can shoot a welshman or scotsman with a bow on the beach, you can’t make fun of the king’s beard, and you can’t pay more than £5 in pennies?
