No Kissing Allowed - Here Are Our Examples for You to Laugh At

1. Just kissing is forbidden.  In the Warrington Bank Quay railway station, in Cheshire, EnglandVirgin Rail's spokesman has told us, 'We have not banned
   kissing in the station But we have put the sign up at the drop off
   point because it is not a very big area and it often gets busy with
   lots of traffic. The sign is a light-hearted way of getting people
   to move on quickly.'
2. In some places kissing is a crime in the USA: it's illegal
   in Indiana for a moustached man to "habitually kiss human beings"
   while in Hartford, Connecticut it's illegal for a husband to kiss
   his wife on Sunday, and in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, it's a crime to kiss
   a stranger.We find these statements, found on the net,
   difficult to believe! Perhaps someone will contact us to confirm or
   deny them.
3. On
   the suggestion and advice of the Chamber of Commerce for the Chicago
   suburbs of Deerfield, Bannockburn and Riverwoods in the USA.  Apparently they are popular signs in that particular neck of the
   woods. So, in Warrington Bank Quay, couples are forbidden from
   expressing their love in front of the building, and asked to take it
   instead into the designated "Kissing Zone" provided. Yes - kissing
   zone!
4. This photo was taken in a taxi in Kuala Lumpur, the sign
   was on the back of the front seat. No kissing allowed in cabs or, in
   fact, anywhere in KL because it is illegal and carries with it a
   maximum penalty of a year in prison. Ouch!
5. Many parts of India take a similarly dim view of the
   practice, as Richard Gere, the Hollywood actor, found to his cost
   when he kissed Shilpa Shetty, the beautiful Bollywood star, during
   an Aids rally in New Delhi.
6. A no kissing sign spotted in Batu Ferringhi, northern
   Penang, Malaysia.
7. Controversy has struck the Mexican city of Guanajuato,
   famous, or some may say infamous, for its "kissing alley" where
   public displays of affection are believed to bring good luck.Recently, the city council passed a public order bill that included
   the new offence of "obscene touching", interpreted to include a
   prolonged kiss, which might land the offender with three days in
   jail. The outcry was so great that the law has since been reversed,
   with the mayor hastily declaring Guanajuato "capital of the kiss",
   and explaining that just kissing was ok, he had only meant to outlaw "fondling far beyond
   the norm".
8. This sign is on a train window. If anyone knows where the photo
   was taken please contact us.

Mexico Wins World Kissing Record on Valentine's Day

Will and Guy can verify that the world kissing record has been won in
Mexico City when 39,897 people in the Zocalo [main square] locked lips
for ten seconds on 14th February 2009.

This beat the UK's record claimed by Weston-super-Mare, Somerset,
England in 2007.

Obviously Mexico City is a place where kissing in
public is acceptable. Will and Guy have discovered that there are places
that frown on and indeed ban kissing in public. These kisses are not
necessarily passionate or vulgar but are simply kisses of greeting or
farewell.  See
