Customer Reviews

silliness

The other reviewers are overanalyzing a book that is meant to be funny. Funny is what you get. Yes, these laws are old and should be repealed, but that's what makes it so funny. It's illegal to have a bathtub in your house unless it has feet. This is perfect light reading to take along with you when you're waiting in a doctor's office or anytime you're stressed out. You read, you laugh, you relax, you feel better. Forget an apple a day, read a page a day to keep the doctor away!
