Canada
It is against the law to kill a person who is sick by frightening them (Because it's always best to wait until they are well before killing them)
It is illegal to remove bandages in public (I am assuming this would depend on "where" the bandages are)

It is against the law to "pretend" to practice witchcraft (By this account, the ladies of "Charmed" are in a whole lotta trouble)

United States
A citizen of the U.S. can legally own any uninhabited, foreign island but it must contain bird droppings (How hard can that be? Wooohoo! Islands for everyone!)

England
A male is legally allowed to urinate in public as long as he urinates on the back wheel of his car while his right hand is on the vehicle at the same time. (Try picturing this!)
Suicide is a punishable capital crime (How?)
If you wish to own and keep a lunatic, you must have a license. (Of course)

Scotland

To drink alcohol and own a cow at the same time is illegal (What if the cow drinks too?)
Trespassing is legal (I'm guessing they door companies don't fare too well financially here)
It is illegal to fish on Sundays (Fish need rest too, ya know)

Italy
A man wearing a skirt risks arrest (I'm assuming cardiac by the arresting officers)

France
If you own a pig, do NOT called him Napoleon, it's illegal (Ok then)

Switzerland
A male standing up while urinating after 10 pm is illegal (Arrest me sir, I doth stood while I tinkled - not your typical confession, by far)

Break it down
Law considers anyone in Kentucky sober until they hit the ground (hitting the ground- definitely the first clue to drunkenness. And here you thought it was the slurred words, vision and incomprehensible babbling!)
Bathing is prohibited during winter in Indiana (I am assuming they don't get many tourists)
It is illegal to sing off key in North Carolina (Wonder if American Idol knows this?)

Alberta prisons must provide you with a handgun, bullets and a horse so that you can ride out of town (No worries, I'm certain they excelled in anger management before being released)
It is illegal to kill a Sasquatch in British Columbia (Assuming Sasquatches have been killed before)
In Chester, England you are legally allowed to shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow but only after midnight (Good thinking, because the early morning sun or afternoon shadow could of obstruct your view)
Liverpool, England's law states that a woman can legally be topless but only if she is employed as a clerk in a tropical fish store (Betcha they have happy fish over there!)

Back in time (farther back)

Six thousand years ago in Egypt, a woman found guilty of adultery would have her nose cut off to make her less attractive. (Yes, because the nose is the most important attribute for sex, after all)
If a French prostitute in the 18th Century was charged with the crime, she could escape punishment by joining the Opera (but, what if she couldn't sing??)
Drinking coffee in 16/17th century Turkey resulted in death (Coffee? Drink? Me? Nahhh … wrong person. It's tea, I swear!)
