How refreshing...

Sometimes I think, Germany has a lot of stupid laws.
For instance that one saying that a swarm of bees becomes ownerless if the owner himself doesn't go after them immediately. I guess something like that must have happened before, but seriously, I just love that one. Everbody should have a swarm of bees...

Or that law saying that it's illegal to drive through a puddle of water and splashing onwalking pedestrians with water. I mean, who really does something like that? Who accelerates when seeing a puddle AND a pedestrian (right next to the puddle of water of course). No, in my little world, people don't do things like that.

I know the US have strange laws and prohibitions as well. Like the one from Portland, Maine, saying that men aren't allowed to tickle women under their chin with a feather. A whole chicken is fine, and tickling her under her arm is fine, too. But the chin/feather combo just doesn't work. Or the one from North Dakota where it's illegal to wear shoes when sleeping.

But I guess some essential laws are missing in this country. Like the one saying it's illegal to drive through a puddle of water and splashing onwalking pedestrians with water.... oh yeah, you gotta love Austin...

And the moral of the story is: never walk back home with your arms full of groceries after a heavy downpour if you have to walk alongside a three-lane street!
