Humor in the Law
There is really a lot of humor in the law, but you have
to search it out. It’s not always something that sticks
out like a sore thumb.
It was about 1990 when I began researching humor
in the law. I was confronted by a rather humorous law
librarian. She said, “Humor and the law, huh? There is
an interesting paradox! It’s a contradiction in terms!”
Then she referred me to two sections in their library:
(1) hypothetical inconsistencies, and
(2) legal curiosities.
From these titles, I knew that I was in deep water.
I knew I was in trouble.
