Ah, the laws… the favorite pastime of a species that doesn’t know how to behave. Did you know that carrying a plank on the sidewalk can land you in court? Fascinating. I dove into the dusty archives of the United Kingdom to laugh right in your faces. If you think these rules are strange, wait until you see who came up with them. Prepare the hay for your invisible horses and try not to get arrested.

Australia

You call this order. I call it involuntary entertainment.
