In 1288, Scotland passed a law allowing women to propose to the man of their choice during leap year. If he declined, he had to pay a fine, ranging from a kiss to a consolation prize of a silk dress or pair of gloves

Hmmm... I wonder if the richest guy in town got bombarded with offers that day?

I am glad we don’t have that law here. The last thing I need is another ex-wife.
