Some gems from the Dumb Laws website whose headline is – Big Government. Small Brains. Dumb Laws.

These laws are supposedly still in place in the United Kingdom:

• All land must be left to the eldest son.

• Divorces are outlawed.

• Since 1313, MPs are not allowed to don armor in Parliament.

• With the exception of carrots, most goods may not be sold on Sunday.

• All English males over the age 14 are to carry out 2 or so hours of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy.

• London Hackney Carriages (taxis/cabs) must carry a bale of hay and a sack of oats.

• Any person found breaking a boiled egg at the sharp end will be sentenced to 24 hours in the village stocks (enacted by Edward VI).

• Any boy under the age of 10 may not see a naked mannequin.

• It is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance.

Or how about some confusing signs?

• State Prison: Do Not Stop for Hitchhikers
  Interstate 10, Near Phoenix, AZ

• Warning to tourists: don’t laugh at the natives.
  Highway 26, Idaho Falls, Idaho

• Caution water on road during rain.
  Unknown Road, Clemson, SC

• If tunnel is dark, remove sunglasses.
  Smoky Mountain National Park, Tennessee

• Public Property, Keep out!
  Jefferson City, Missouri High School Football Field

• Soccer not allowed. Soccer may only be played in archery range.
  Lime Kiln Park, Grafton, WI

• Secret Nuclear Bunker >
  Unknown Road Sign

• Cruise ships use airport exit
  Freeway near San Diego, CA

• Cemetery Road. Dead End
  South Side of San Antonio, TX

If those have whetted you appetite there is plenty more to amuse (or annoy) over at the Dumb Network.

PS:  I am a little worried about the law about chocolate…
