                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.
