    My boyfriend makes them up as he goes along but he is currently going along with " by law I have to have sex with him at least twice a day or he will go blind and it will all be my fault "

    I am hoping that he will lose the power of speech instead


    on a serious note though my neighbour believed that by law her child should be taken to school by the council rather then make her get her lazy aris out of bed.

    By law the item has to be returned to the manufacturer so they can decide if a refund is due (erm no, my contract is with you the retailer....ahhhh!) Hear that chestnut every time I return something - which isnt often but its a perpetual one!

    How about this one: BY LAW all children must go to school. Err, no. By law all children must receive an education, be it at school or at home. If you don't believe me go ask Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth (who was tutored at home).

    By law you cannot drive for 6 weeks after having a caesarian. - Not actually true but insurance companies don't seem to like you diving during this time. The fact you may well be too knackered anyway is besides the point. ;)

    A big fat lying dyke journalist admited to making this up for an article.

    What a vile thing to say. Absolutely disgusting.
    Have I helped? Feel free to click the 'Thanks' button. I like to feel useful (and smug). ;)
