Product Description

Did You Know? In Australia, children may not purchase cigarettes, but are allowed to smoke them ...It is also illegal to read someone's tarot or give them a psychic reading, as these are forms of witchcraft. In Denmark it is not illegal to escape from prison, but if you're caught you must finish the remainder of your sentence. In Singapore, you may not walk around your house while naked, as this is considered to be a form of pornography. In the USA, in the state of Arkansas, alligators may not be kept in the bath ...In Iowa, kisses may last for a maximum of five minutes. "The World's Stupidest Laws" is essential reading for anyone who's ever been bamboozled by legal lunacy abroad or who's fallen foul of ludicrous laws in their locality. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

An excellent reference - when taking the mickey out of Yanks 26 Sep 2002

By M. A. Carp

Format:Paperback

A Funny little book, which highlights stupid laws from around the world that are still on the statute books, though presumably are not enforced any longer in most cases.

When you read this it will cause you to ponder, what exactly occured to cause the city fathers of Canton, Mississippi to decide that it was a crime to kill a squirrel with a gun in a courthouse?

Don't expect too much and you'll not be disappointed 22 April 2010

By D. A. Wright

Format:Paperback

A collection of snappy Q&A, some hoary with age, some excruciatingly contrived, some bewildering and some really funny. A bit of a mixed bag, but if you want to give your brain a rest, slip it into neutral and coast along for a while, you could do a lot worse than dip into this little book.

The worlds stupidest signs

The laws of this world seem too silly to be true, but here they are. I wonder if anyone has actually been charged for breaking these silly rules. Read more

Funny but not quite incredibly hilarious

This book certainly contains the odd gem but I was not exactly splitting my sides with laughter throughout what was a pretty short read. Read more

Entertaining when read a loud with friends

This is very good book. It is best read a loud with a group of people who can laugh with you. It is even funnier to think that some of the laws were put in place after people... Read more
