This was a difficult challange, however, a great use of legal databases is
as a source of humor. In my home, I have a book called The Trenton Pickle
Ordinance. This source is full of humorous legal infomation including the
famous Trenton Pickle Ordinance which states that it is unlawful to throw
any tainted pickles in the street while in Trenton, NJ.. Another funny law
exists in Kansas where it is illegal to carry bees around in your hat on
the city streets. (This book was published in 1976 so I may not have all
my facts straight) However, the message is clear. If you dig deep enough
on Lexis or Westlaw, you can find |a wealth of humerous laws. Just a
thought.
