Wonderful book

This book is merely a collection of laws that do not make sense. In Illinois, for example, it is against the law to speak English. Some of the laws make you wonder what was going on that this had to be made into a law. Some of these laws made me laugh out-loud, both at the law itself, and at the thought of trying to enforce them now. Many of them are odd, weird, and, well, crazy. The book is organized by the subject of the laws. All laws about tightrope walkers are under the heading `Tightrope Walking.' All laws about keeping alligators are under `Alligators.' All these titles are organized in alphabetical order. In some cases this makes it difficult for one to find a law about a particular subject because you have to guess what title they are going to use for it.Scattered throughout this books pages are funny cartoon pictures in black-and-white. These cartoons are funny, and they illustrate some of the wackiness in these laws. For example; Who ever thought they were going to see a picture of a policeman stopping a man driving a car into town because he has a horse in the back seat?Loggie-log-log-log
