Joliet
Town fathers, reflecting the pet peeve of hearing their town's name mispronounced 'Jolly-ETTE' when all local folk know it's pronounced 'Joe-lee-ETTE', made pronouncing it Jolly-ette a misdemeanor, punishable by a $5 fine.

There are no laws on that site specific to certain towns in Scotland but they have some that pertain to the whole country. They are -

1. You may not fish on Sundays.
2. It is illegal to be a drunk in possession of a cow.
3. Trespassing on someone else's land is legal.
4. You are presumed guilty until proven innocent for some crimes.
5. If someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your commode, you must let them enter.

I am slightly sceptical of number 1 although number 3 is certainly true (and thank God for that - I was caught on some guys land and he was gonna call the police on me untill I pointed out to him that it wasn't actually a criminal offence). And as for number 2 - I have been drunk on many occasions but I was never in the company of a cow at the time so I guess I'm safe! :lol:
