Yeah Right!

The recently published 'The Observer Book of the Body', has listed ten outlandish laws about the body.

1. In vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.
2. 'Female breasts', according to the Arizona Supreme Court, don't constitute 'private parts'.
3. In Merryville Missouri, women are prohibited from wearing corsets because 'the privilege of admiring th curvaceous, unencumbered body of a young woman should not be denied to the normal , red blooded American male'.
4. In Massachusetts, an old ordinance declares goatees illegal unless a special license fee is paid for the privilege of wearing one in public.
5. In the UK, no boy under the age of 10 may see a naked mannequin.
6. A pregnant British woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants - even, if she so requests, in a policeman's helmet.
7. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless in public unless she works as a clerk in a tropical-fish store.
8. In Singapore, people are forbidden from walking around their houses naked.
9. In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a womans genitals but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination; he may only see their reflection in a mirror.
10. In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation.

I seem to recall hearing about '6' when I was a boy, but I'm convinced they made up '7'.
