And today's story
The blonde was broke and desparate.
She knocked on the door of a doctor's house and said she needed money and would be willing to work for it.
The doctor asked if she would be willing to paint his porch. He would give her $50 to do it.
The blonde said that would be fine.
The doctor's wife said the blonde must be really dumb to do such a big job for only $50.
"Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?" the wife asked.
"I guess so," the doctor told his wife.
A few minutes later, the blonde knocked on the door.
"All done," she said, "and by the way, it's not a porch, it's a Ferrari."

Strange Worldly Practices and Proof that the world is nuts

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 their first time.
Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry.

(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.'

Well, not as great as Guam !)
