I decided that my first blog should be about a law from my home state: Louisiana. Now if you're wondering about why I chose this law, let me tell you, it was pretty evident. Think about it: what must have been going on for this kind of law to be deemed necessary?
Lawyer: Now, remind the court of what you say you saw the defendent doing to Mr. Boudreaux.
Witness: Well, he stopped Mr. Boudreaux on the road, told him "Give me all your money", and began biting him sensely. When Mr. Boudreaux tried to tell him he had no money, the defendent removed Mr. Boudreaux's teeth, placed them in his mouth, and began biting Mr. Boudreaux's arm with his very own teeth.
Lawyer: Thank you; no further questions. I now call the defendant, Mr. Cul de Sac, to the stand. Mr. Cul de Sac, is it true that you removed this man's dentures and began biting him with them after he refused to give you his money?
Mr. Cul de Sac: Yes, but in my defense, I wouldn't have taken his teeth if he hadn't started biting me back.
I imagine that it was a situation similar to that which prompted the creation of such a ridiculous law. That's the aim of my blog: to present the hypothetical (or otherwise true) situations that could have caused such laws to be created. Not all of them will be in this format, but they will all (hopefully) make you laugh.
