    *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

    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

    **(Ah! Justice!)**
    *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

    Topless saleswomen are legal in   Liverpool ,   England  - but only
    in tropical fish stores.

    ***~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**
    *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 !)**

    And, the best for last?
