And you make it sound as though I am basing my comment on a single law/incident. There are a great many more I can assure you. I did not mention for example the law in which it is illegal to urinate in a canal unless you are pregnant (blatantly sexist in my opinion). The Dutch party hard and I have booked my plane ticket post haste to Amsterdam. But make no mistake, the "Americans" party hard too. In Ohio for example, it is illegal to get a fish drunk. True story.

In turkey, it's against the law to fall in love with a neighbors son, daughter, wife, servant, or any of his animals (however, there is no mentioning of her animals? potential loophole maybe?). In Thailand, women at the age of thirty become the property of the state. In Switzerland, it is illegal to ski down a mountain while reciting poetry. No lie, I would love to know about how that became a law. I imagine there would have been a lot of hot chocolate at the assembly. Suffice to say that all countries have a dash of the mentally hilarious in them one way or another.



As to a defense of bestiality, I'll leave that for better men. Again, within my own country (both of them), it is prohibited for good reason? syphilis comes to mind. When you sleep with one sheep, you sleep with every sheep that sheep has ever been with.
