Wonderful news, everyone

Yesterday at late night me and four of my friends were sitting in boulevard and drinking a beer, which is, of course, an illegal activity: drinking in public (that is stupid).

Large police car approached us but we were able to escape on feets.

This is a second time in last two months when I managed to escape police opressors.

Have you escaped them in your life too?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I don't associate myself with felons.

What's the penalty for public drinking in Poland?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

What's the penalty for public drinking in Poland?

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

What's the penalty for public drinking in Poland?

Just curious, has it been used in other countries than France?

Either fine or two days in arrest, depends how much policeman don't like you

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Yeah, in Germany

Sweden (once in 1910, before that an axe)
Switzerland
Austria (following annexation in 1938)
Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
Belgium
Monaco
South Vietnam

Scotland and Italy previously used they own guillotine-like decapitation machines

Interestingly, not all German states used guillotine. For example axe beheadings in Berlin continued until 1938

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Thank you. I had my answer about until when Germany used it by French Wikipedia, which is less complete than you, according to them, yes, like us they used it until they stopped death penalty, in 1949 in West Germany and 1968 in East Germany.

I thought we didn't have exported it.

I'm fortunate enough to live in a city without open container laws! Hell, you're only required to have alcohol 'containers' closed when you're behind the wheel of a vehicle. And a plastic drink top counts as a cover even if there's a straw going through it. We even have drive-through daquiri stands!

After invasion on Poland in 1939 and splitting the country between General Government and territories annexed by third Reich, on the annexted territories guillotine was used as well

All French colonies used guillotine, but as far as I know, only Diem regime used that after independence

Of course guillotine has been "given" to German states during Napoleonic wars

OOOh I love how you polish types type English!

Gosh no, if you flee them in the US they will put a bullet in the back of your head.  They're pure dangerous thugs here.

Haha! They can't do this in Poland!

That could make you become famous during a while in the world. Biggest US police's faults are displayed in our news. Last one was Seattle i think.

  A Polish man went to a carpenter and asked, "Can you build me a box that is two inches high, two inches wide, and fifty feet long?"

    "Hmm..." mused the carpenter. "It could be done, I suppose, but what would you want a box like that for?"

    "Well, you see," said the Pole, "my neighbor moved away and forgot some things, so he asked me to send him his garden hose."

Your humor is archaic, Blubb.  Americans are far less intelligent than Poles nowadays.

First of all, it's Pollock not Pole

Second of all: Snowguy and NiK can educate you in Polish jokes

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Considering that Blubb is now on mod review, I'm surprised that one got through...

Well this is tame for him, so don't whup on Alcon too much.

I'm not nearly as good at Polish jokes as I am with Sven and Ole jokes.

The difference between people like me and people like Blubb is that we tend to direct the jokes at ourselves.  Self deprecating humor is the Minnesotan way.

"Mama, I have da biggest feet in da third grade. Is dat becoss I'm Norvegian?"
"No, Ole, it's because you're NINETEEN."

So, Ole --- I see you got a sign up that says, "Boat For Sale."  But you don't own a boat, Ole. All you got is your old John Deere tractor and your combine.
"Yup, and they're boat for sale."

But anyway.. I have tons of cop stories.  It comes with having 2 seriously messed up siblings with equally messed up friends.

One time, a friend of my sister's ran away from home because she was fighting with her mom (her mom was a very nice lady, but she was also completely psychotic, so we could understand having to get away sometimes).

She came to our house to stay.. well, then a few hours later the cops show up.  My sister's friend snuck out of her window and ran into the woods.. and my mom just plain lied to the cops.  They didn't believe her but there was nothing they could do.  My mom told them to leave, and they left.

I've also been to many house parties when I was under age and drinking and the cops would show up... just set your drink down and walk away. 

At one such house party a friend of mine gave new definition to the term "clotheslined"... he falsely thought the cops had shown up, so he screamed "cops" and started running through some person's yard... unfortunately he didn't see the clothes line hanging directly at neck level.  He hit it at full running speed and it knocked him straight on his back.  He could barely talk and had a huge welt right across his neck.  It was quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.

It's okay.  I still have an affinity for Polish Sausage (and yes, I am talking about the food).
