I received this in email today and it's certainly valueable for its humorous content, but I am always skeptical of such things being true. Please help out here, Oh Intelligent Ones!
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.
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?????)
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.
(Why, 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)
In Santa Cruz, Bolivia it is illegal for a man to
have sex with a woman and 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?)
