OF COURSE, I, PERSONALLY, KNEW MOST OF THESE ALREADY, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE WITH YOU, GENTLE READER, FOR WHEN YOU TRAVEL THE WORLD.

SOUNDS FAIR TO ME.

In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals -- so long as the animals are female. It is illegal to have sex with a male animal, however.

OH, THOSE LEBANESE !!!!

In Switzerland, a man may not relieve himself while standing up, after 10 P.M.

BROKE THAT RULE, BUT IT'S OK IN FLORIDA, I THINK.

In Thailand, it is illegal to leave your house if you are not wearing underwear.

I THINK IT'S OK HERE, TOO.

In China, women are prohibited from walking around a hotel room in the nude; a woman may only be naked while in the bathroom.
