4.9/5 (18391 ratings)

Description:An Outlandish Collection of Witless, Rib-Tickling Statutes, Ordinances, and Strange Decrees Passed by Apparently Brain Dead Lawmakers and Nameless, Faceless Bureaucrats Buried in All Levels of Government. Women not allowed to marry a eunuch? People who commit adultery have to be branded? No chili sauce allowed on any kind of food? Against the law in one part of the United States to make love to your wife if she's still a virgin? Samuel Johnson once remarked: "The law is the last result of human wisdom acting upon human experience for the benefit of the public." Do you agree with this bit of philosophical meandering? Let's take a sojourn into the land of laughable legalese before responding to this question. Then decide! Many of the old and odd laws from all over the world are still on the books. They were once passed by supposedly intelligent legislators -- but even this appears doubtful in many cases. Most are biased -- they are obviously based on the prejudices of the brain dead lawmakers. Many are humorous, yet rather frightening! Some are downright strange! Let's take a trip into the unique land of laughable legalese and while so doing please heed the words of Henry Ward Beecher. He said it all when he summed up his view on the art of lawmaking: "We bury men when they are dead, but we try to embalm the dead body of laws, keeping the corpse in sight long after the vitality has gone, It usually takes a hundred years to make a law; and then, after the law has done its work, it usually takes a hundred years to get rid of it." Beecher has a good point! His opinion still holds true in today's fast-paced jet age.
