- In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the
  animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is
  punishable by death. 

  (Like THAT makes sense.)

- In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is
  prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination.  He may
  only see their reflection in a mirror. 

  (No comments)

- Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse.  This also
  applies to undertakers; the sex organs of the deceased must be covered
  with a brick or piece of wood at all times. 

  (A brick??)

- There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside
  and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex
  for the first time... Reason: Under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden
  for virgins to marry. 

  (Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere else in the
  world that even comes close to this?)

- In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous
  husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband's lover, on
  the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.  

  (Ah! Justice!)

- Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in
  tropical fish stores. 

  (But of course!)

- In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the
  first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the
  act. 

  (Makes one shudder at the thought.)

- In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman
  and her daughter at the same time. 

  (I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this
  law?)

- In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with
  one exception: prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine
  only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on
  the premises." 

  (Is this a great country or what?)
  (Not as great as Guam!)
