Book description
The law’s an ass – it’s official! The World’s Stupidest Laws is a collection of some of the most ridiculous regulations, silly statutes and barmy by-laws from different cities, states and countries across our legally challenged globe. 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 attempt 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.
