I like the ministers and garlic/onions one... some guy in office must have had a bad experience...

The kangaroo one just shows how dumb and over-confident some Americans are 🙂

lol, yeah, when I saw that one I was like, "damnit, I like boxing with kangaroos." What is the world coming to when we no longer have the freedom to engage in such activities?

lol

I think that dentists should be included under the garlic/onion statute. It baffles me when dentists have icky breath. lol. Yuck

wtf? ice cream may not be eaten on sundays? LOL are they mad?!

LOL, you're right, I should totally protest. But that would almost be as rediculous....I can just see myself holding a sign saying, "I'm with the People Against Full Body Bathing Suits" lol

Society must be changed so that being naked all day long in public is perfectly acceptable. Down with clothing! Down with clothing! Down with clothing!!!

Thats why I dream I am nude all the time. Down with clothing

The...ahem...Minnesotans (is that how you say it?) might find this funny:

In Minnesota, it is illegal for any man to have sexual intercourse with a live fish.

No man is allowed to make love to his wife with the smell of garlic, onions, or sardines on his breath in Alexandria, Minnesota. If his wife so requests, law mandates that he must brush his teeth.

It's "an excusable act of passion" in Colombia, South America, for a man to murder his wayward wife when he finds the woman in bed with her lover. If the husband "personally witnesses the corrupt sexual activity," he's allowed to shoot his unfaithful spouse. Such adultery-related homicides aren't even prosecuted.

Wow...

Passionate kissing in public places has been outlawed in Sorocaba, Brazil. The specific kind of kiss that was banned was "the cinematographic kiss, in which salivas mix to swell the sensuality."

LOL.

A man in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, is required by law to divorce his wife as soon as he discovers that she's committed adultery. He's in serious trouble should he fail to do so; the hapless husband may then be prosecuted for his unwillingness to take the proper and necessary course of action. A wife, on the other hand, is not permitted to divorce her husband when he's caught in bed with another woman. Such things are simply to be expected when it comes to men, says the law.

GRRRRRRRRRR...😢

Promiscuity isn't illegal in Valencia, Venezuela, so long as it's kept within certain specified boundaries. The single man or woman, says the law, shouldn't ever have sex with anyone who's deformed or who is known to be an "idiot."

Jeez! lol...
