You May Not Tie an Alligator to a Fire Hydrant: 101 Real Dumb Laws

I thought I was doing the nice folks a favor when I tied my dog Snuckles to the fire hydrant while I went into the 7-ll for a slushy and a ding-dong. However to my horror, when I came out of the store I found an alligator swallowing my dog. He then got his head and teeth stuck around the leash. Before I could do anything a police officer came up to me and asked if that was my alligator tied to the fire hydrant. I told him that I had never seen that alligator before in my life. He then asked me if that was my leash and I told him it was. Unfortunately, just then a fire broke out across the street and the fire trucks soon arrived. However, the fireman couldn't get to the fire hydrant as a vicious alligator was guarding it. The whole building burnt down and I was arrested and charged for tying an alligator to a fire hydrant and blocking a fire hydrant that was needed during a fire resulting in thousands of dollars of damage. While I was in court, even though I had argued that the alligator was not mine, it was proved by the prosecutors that it was mine since I had confessed to having my leash on it. In the end I was fined $500 dollars and sentenced to 100 hours of community service and forced to read this book. Without a doubt, had I read this book before, I would not have had to read it now in humiliation after failing to take Jeff's advice. Had I known I could have lied about the leash being mine. Good advice Jeff but a little too late for me! By the way, the alligator and I are now doing fine and I've adopted him as a pet. Poor Snuckles.

hilarious... worth buying and reading over and over again. see down for mirinda's review. it sums up my thoughts exactly.

This collection is sometimes funny, sometimes strange-always interesting.That's why reality-based books like this one and Judy Reiser's book, "And I Thought I Was Crazy! Quirks, Idiosyncrasies and Meshugaas" are so fascinating.

I would not only recommend that these two young men write another equally witty book, but I would love some pointers on how to become so famous at such a young age! This is a great coffee table book for funlovers of all ages. I enjoyed the dry humor, as well as the topic (which, by the way, came from the authors' equally humorous and successful website dumblaws.com). Its not everyday that one sees such a fresh new idea...I mean how many Dilbert or Dr. Seuss cofffee table books can one have?
