Culture Alert

And we thought some of OUR laws were strange...

Most Middle Eastern countries recognize the following Islamic law: "After having sexual relations with a lamb, it is a mortal sin to eat its flesh." (umm OK, I'm sure the lamb appreciates that one)

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. (OK, like THAT makes sense... )

In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror. (Mirror mirror on the wall... I see Betty... I see Susie... I see...)

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. (wonder how they enforce that one?)

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. (now 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.)

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores. (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. (I shudder at the thought. How many of us would be virgins today?)

In Santa Cruz,Bolivia it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman & her daughter at the same time. (...we have to 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?)

    HOW TO KEEP A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY IN THE WORKPLACE!

    ... contributed by My Darlin' Daniele

     

  • 1. Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice.)

  • 2. Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is a different gender than you are.)

  • 3. Make up nicknames for all your co-workers and refer to them only by these names. "That's a good point, Doughboy." "No, I'm sorry I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Chachi."

  • 4. Send e-mail to the rest of the company telling them what you're doing. For example: "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom."

  • 5. "Hi-lite" your shoes. Tell people that you haven't lost your shoes since you did this.

  • 6. While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in "Palmolive."

  • 7. Put up mosquito netting around your cubicle.

  • 8. Put a chair facing a printer, sit there all day and tell people you're waiting for your document.

  • 9. Arrive at a meeting late, say you're sorry, but you didn't have time for lunch, and you're going to be nibbling during the meeting. During the meeting eat 5 entire raw potatoes.

  • 10. Insist that your e-mail address be Xena_goddess_of_fire@companyname.com

  • 11. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask them if they want fries with that.

  • 19. Send e-mail messages saying free pizza, free donuts etc. in the lunchroom, when people complain that there was none, just lean back, pat your stomach, and say, "Ohhhhh you've got to be faster than that."
