Post a Commentwhat wierd laws
very stupid laws indeed. who thinks thes laws up in the first place!? a lot more stupid laws here http://www.isitlegalto.com/stupid-laws/
I also learned French and German, but I forgot everything; including essential phrases. My English still has many issues, as I don't know familiar expressions and I can't express myself very easy.
These are such strange laws. I wonder why it is illegal to dress up as Batman in Australia?!!

There are so many amusing old laws on the books. It's very funny. Hey, thanks for reading.... You're doing great considering that you are writing in English--not your first language. I took language study in school but can only write a few phrases in French, two in Italian, five in Spanish.... Well, you get the idea...:)
