The Emergency Sasquatch Ordinance: And Other Real Laws.....

The Emergency Sasquatch Ordinance: And Other Real Laws That Human Beings Actually Dreamed Up, Enacted, and Sometimes Even EnforcedThe Emergency Sasquatch Ordinance: And Other Real Laws That Human Beings Actually Dreamed Up, Enacted, and Sometimes Even Enforced by Kevin Underhill
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 I received a copy of this book from Goodreads First Reads and all opinions are my own.

Kevin is a real lawyer in San Francisco in the office of Shook, Hardy & Bacon.  He has been with them for 20 years, and is a defense of products-liability and consumer-protection lawyer.  He also writes his Legal-Humor blog:
Check out Kevin Underhill's website Lowering The Bar
This is his first book but he has written along with an essay, and his blog.  He would also like to have a giant Burmese Python in the year 2020.

The Emergency Sasquatch Ordinance:... is a hilarious romp through history's silly laws/bills that have been made official, or almost passed.  There is a lot of research behind the scenes *(check out the bibliography at the back).

Some of my Favorites:

-In Florida, it's illegal to molest a manatee. pg 136

-It's a felony to possess more than 37 lizards for commercial purposes. pg 170



-No Children on the fenders. pg 209




A couple extras:
You can't say no to a posse. pg 216
It's illegal to shoot fish in Wyoming. pg 237
Happy Reading! I promise this book will make you laugh!!
