Anyway, doing a search at Indiana University's virtual law > library yielded no hits. Many of those were modified to make them more obscure, thus 'funnier'. One of them is that, in Germany, you are not allowed to start a car when someone is lying under it. The actual law says that you need to ensure that no one can be harmed by you operating the vehicle before you drive it. This includes lights, brakes and, of course, human obstacles. The first version is 'funny', the latter is not, it is just basic common sense. Along the same lines, it might be that you are not allowed to enter any of those three crowded places while stinking so bad as to annoy others. Then someone just picked the most obscure example he could come up with while drunk and went with that.
