The “Extra-Terrestrial Exposure Law” has nothing to do with pervs from outer space. Rather, it authorizes a quarantine for astronauts who come within the “atmospheric envelope of any other celestial body.”
One of the wives of legendary R&B artist James Brown once tried to beat traffic charges by claiming she was entitled to diplomatic immunity on the basis of her marriage to the “ambassador of soul.”
In Baltimore, it’s illegal to take a lion to the movies.
A German woman is suing her doctors after she checked in to have wrinkles removed and woke up with a pair of breast implants. The physicians said the woman should not complain because the best way to tighten the skin and remove the wrinkles
was to make her breasts bigger.
