There Ought To Be A Law: A Collection Of Lunatic Legislation is a humorous book written by William Seagle. The book is a compilation of bizarre and outrageous laws that have been proposed or passed in various countries and states around the world. The author has scoured through legal archives and news reports to bring together a collection of ridiculous laws that will leave readers both amused and astounded. The book features over 200 examples of absurd legislation, ranging from the comical to the absurd. Some of the laws included in the book include a law in Alabama that prohibits the wearing of a fake mustache in church that causes laughter, a law in Arizona that makes it illegal to hunt camels, and a law in California that prohibits the use of a lasso to catch a fish. Each law is accompanied by a brief explanation of its origin and its intended purpose. The author also provides commentary on the absurdity of the law and offers his own humorous take on the matter. Overall, There Ought To Be A Law: A Collection Of Lunatic Legislation is a witty and entertaining read that will appeal to anyone with an interest in law, politics, or just a good laugh. The book is well-written and well-researched, and it offers a unique perspective on the strange and often ridiculous world of legal regulation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
