Proof That The World is Nuts...
In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with
animals, but the animals must be female! Having sexual
relations with a male animal is punishable by death.
(Like THAT makes sense.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's
genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them
during the examination. He may only see their reflection
in a mirror. (Do they look different reversed?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a
corpse.
This also applies to undertakers. The sex organs of the
deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at
all times. (A brick?)

The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is
decapitation.
(Much worse than "going blind!")
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel
the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for
the privilege of having sex for the first time.
Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for
virgins to marry. (Let's just think for a minute; is
there any job anywhere else in the world that even comes close
to this?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill
her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare
hands. The husband's illicit lover, on the other hand,
may be killed in any manner desired. (Ah, Justice!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England but
only in tropical aquarium stores. (But of course!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her
husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must
be in the room to witness the act. (Makes one shudder at the
thought.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have
sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time. ( I
presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this
law?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending
machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be
dispensed from a vending machine, only "in places where alcoholic
beverages are sold for consumption on the premises." (Is
this a great country or what? Well . . . not as great as
Guam!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an
hour.
(Who volunteers for this kinda stuff?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex
for pleasure. (So that is why Flipper was always smiling?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30
times its own weight and always falls over on its right side
when intoxicated. (From drinking little bottles of ... ? Did
the government pay for this research?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Butterflies taste with their feet. (Ah, geez...)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some
people like that.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Starfish don't have brains. (I know some people like
that, too.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And, the best for last:
Turtles can breathe through their butts. (And I thought I
had bad breath in the morning!)
