Wacky Laws, Weird Decisions, & Strange Statutes
There ought to be a law against making laws this wacky! But since there isn't, why not have fun with the silliest statutes, looniest lawsuits, and dumbest decisions on record? Who ever thought a law book would be funnier than a joke book? Well it is--just take a look at these: Children under the age of seven can't attend college in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Anyone flying over Maine should remember: it's illegal there to step out of the plane while it's in the air. And why can't the chicken cross the road in Quitman, Georgia? Because it's "fowl" criminal behavior. That's just the beginning, because this collection also uncovers some of the most incredible, unbelievable lawsuits, government grants, and court verdicts. For example, the United States Navy spent $792 for a designer doormat. A psychic sued doctors because she lost her "aura" after a brain scan. Each fact is stranger than the one before!

The other reviewers are overanalyzing a book that is meant to be funny. Funny is what you get. Yes, these laws are old and should be repealed, but that's what makes it so funny. It's illegal to have a bathtub in your house unless it has feet. This is perfect light reading to take along with you when you're waiting in a doctor's office or anytime you're stressed out. You read, you laugh, you relax, you feel better. Forget an apple a day, read a page a day to keep the doctor away!
