Here are some that I have found.

In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman’s genitals but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination; he may only see their reflection in a mirror.

In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.

In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon more than six-feet long.

In the UK, a man who feels compelled to urinate in public can do so only if he aims for his rear wheel and keeps his right hand on his vehicle

Really?!?! I didn't know that! I better warn my dad etc to keep their bow and arrow collection at home if they decide to go to York! lol!! (I just googled this as well - apparently it excludes Sundays too!

In Scotland you can legally get married at 16, but you wouldn't be able to celebrate with a glass of champagne for example, as it's not legal to drink until you're 18

In Denver, Colorado, it's illegal to ride a camel, side saddled, down a main street.

There's a town in New Jersey that made it illegal to sell Ice Cream on Sundays.

No Kissing at Train Stations

This is at my local train station... biggest crock of rubbish ever.

I'd like to see the attempts gone to by law enforcement agencies to try and pursue any of these...

Which station is it (supposed to be) at?? I've heard about it, and never seen in action??
Do they have a "snog patrol"?

It turns out that Virgin Trains has recently posted “No Kissing” signs at its station in Warrington Bank Quay, in northwest England. While there’s no penalty now for train-related kissing, the folks at Warrington Bank Quay will politely ask you to move your smooching to the designated “kissing zone” near the car park.
