My apologies if I offend anyone.

The World Is Nuts .... Or At Least the People In It

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 just "going blind!" or growing hair on your
palms!!!!!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

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 lover,
on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.

(Ah! Justice at last!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in
tropical fish 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, doesn't it????)

*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*

In Santa Cr uz, 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? Not as great as Guam!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

(Who volunteers for this stuff?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

(So that's 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 itty bitty bottles of...?) (Did the govt. 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.

(Do you think they have a bad breath problem?)
 
Yeah, I agree. I don't think anyone will post in this thread...

'The World Is Nuts'...whatever was he thinking? The world isn't nuts!? How can oxygen be nuts? We intake it everyday, but when has it ever tasted like a pistachio? Then, we have water. Is water nuts, bungle? No. Water is a liquid. You can't splash a bunch of peanuts on your face, but you can with water. So, there we go...just a couple of examples disproving this ridiculous idea of the world being nuts.

Does that also apply for tourists? ;) :p
 
I wish I'd known that when I was in Lebanon. I was a mile from Beirut and Miss Lebanon Competition was on the TV and they all looked like westernised plasticised Arabs. Bizarre. :(

And, if I ever see that TV ad with the guy running down the street jumping into prayer mats hanging from lines as he tries to get to a motorbike while yaddy-yaddy music is playing, I won't be happy. :mad:
 
Interesting article, it's amazing what happens when societies succomb to the hobgobblin stories that are based on anything but reason and common sense. :rolleyes:

Ok, I have to interject.

I haven't been on the forums for a long time and I haven't posted in ages but this I find amusing.

I happen to be a Bahraini student in Lebanon and I found this hilarious.
First of all, the death penalty is rarely exercised in Lebanon and I doubt anyone would still apply this archaic law if in fact someone was caught having sex with an animal.
Second of all, my boyfriend is a Bahrain surgeon. When he was doing his obstetrics and gynecology rotation during his internship in a hospital back home, the only rule that was necessary during examining a female's genitals is that a female nurse has to be present because of some women's own inhibitions and social concerns.

I'm not offended, just highly amused. Needless to say, this article was a very interesting topic of discussion... ;)
 
Virginia, USA..........and..... I live in Virginia.

Not only is it illegal to have sex with the lights on, one may not have sex in any position other than missionary.

There is a state law prohibiting "corrupt practices of bribery by any person other than candidates."

You may not engage in business on Sundays, with the exception of almost every industry.

If one is not married, it is illegal for him to have sexual relations.

You may not have oral or anal sex. (Repealed)


Driving while not wearing shoes is prohibited.
