I love reading these interesting tid bits that my best pal sends me on occasion.Believe it or not, these laws are real.
In England, it’s illegal to name your pet “Queen” or “Princess” without the Queen’s permission.
If you aren’t a member of the royal family in Japan, it’s illegal for you to own a maroon cat.
In Equatorial Guinea, you can name your daughter anything you want – except Monica.
In India, women – but not men – are allowed to marry goats.
Old English law; if an object is smaller than a husband’s little finger, he can beat his wife with it.
In Canada, if a debt is higher than 25 cents, it’s against the law for you to pay it with only pennies.
In Vancouver, British Columbia, the speed limit for tricycles is 10 miles per hour.
In Baluchistan, Pakistan, the law allows a man to “acquire” a wife by trading in his sister.
Boxing is illegal in China (too brutal) but capital punishment isn’t.
I have spent the last couple of weeks sorting through tons of boxes in the basement, looking for items to donate to our local GoodWill before the end of the year comes to an end. I really need some tax deductions for use when filing with the IRS comes around, and our GoodWill store here makes the donating process easy on us. You don’t even have to get out of your car, they come out to you, they take the bags and/or boxes, and they give you your receipt and you are on your way, you never have to leave your vehicle, simple as that.
My basement is flowing over with boxes that just need a little time to be gone through. So much of the stuff down there is old, out of date, out of style and out of my hair. So I’m glad to be rid of so much of it and using it as a tax write off makes the work worth while.
