Google "absurd laws in China" and see what else can you find....

You can do the same for other countries too, just change country name.

-Drivers of power-driven vehicles who stop at pedestrian crossings are liable to a fine of up to five yen.

 

was already stated

HappyExPat:

If you want to be real technical about it, you claimed the fine was 5 yuan, when the law stipulates either a fine of UP to 5 yuan (or could be less than 5), or no fine at all but a warning.  So, I felt the correct posting of the law again was justified.

Imagine how much trouble you would be in if you were having sex with the wife on a Thursday evening in Beijing in a position other than missionary and you spiced it up with a little slap and tickle with a 2 1/2 inch strap and while this was all happening you accidentally farted.

MissA:

Particularly if you were in a hotel room and that position needed her to be standing up naked....
