Laws and regulations govern much of our daily life. Some of these regulations we welcome, while others we may not be so fond of. Either way, they are meant to keep society running as safely and smoothly as possible. However, some laws are just odd. Weird situations occur and governments respond by writing correspondingly strange laws.
