Brief Synopsis:   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?
Long Synopsis:   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!
