United States Code, Title IV, Section 8, Subsection (d)…
The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
ENGLAND:
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.
Explanation: This law dates from the middle ages when there was no standing army, so in times of war each gentry was required to produce a quota (depending on its size) of knights, archers, infantry, etc. As the church was the only centralized instrument of beauracracy (the lords were independent for the most part), they were used for such tasks.
Committing suicide is classified as a capital crime.Interfering with the mail or sleeping with the consort of the Queen is classed as treason, and as such, carries a maximum penalty of death.Placing a postage stamp that bears the Queen (or King) upside down is considered treason.You can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight.You may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close.Excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.During his reign, Oliver Cromwell banned the eating of mince pies on Christmas day, as they were insufficiently Puritan.:eek2:
