If a law were named after you, what would be the reason?
Hey I want my own law!

"Greg's Law" From this date henceforth, the work week and the weekend shall be reversed (such that, posthaste, ipso facto, hunky-dory, puddin' lips, etcetera and soforth) we all now work 2 days and have 5 days off. Same pay and free lunch for all (BYOB)

The law commonly known as "I say we work 2 days and fish 5"

52. Damn, yer idea was better than mine!
As a 36yo male with a fabulous (and rapidly thinning) head of hair, I would be a fanatical supporter of 'Joe's Law'! Dammit, why are we wasting BILLION$ on useless crap while I grow balder by the week?

My idea was gonna be, 'Dick's Law': that parents would be forbidden to give their children amusing names!

For starters, the Steeles wouldn't be allowed to name male children "Richard" anymore...

9. Becca's Law
"Hereafter, let it be known that Becca is declared Queen Bitch Goddess of the Universe. Let all fall down and worship the very dirt she trods upon and kiss the hem of her garment--"

No no! Not like THAT!

"--oh, and she gets free dry-cleaning for the rest of her days, may they be eternal and full of chocolate, single-malt scotch, and expensive gifts and offerings (non-burnt requested)."

So Mote It Be

27. Women would be allowed to go topless
in outdoors public areas, just like men have been allowed to do. It's always pissed me off that women are not allowed this privilege. Damn men sexualizing our breasts! Maybe men are just jealous because their breasts serve no functional purpose.

Without support, these 'perky' friends would eventually become decidedly less so rather quickly, I'd imagine.

41. Now there is a great law! Well said!
One of my greatest struggles in life is finding rentals, workplaces, public areas, etc. where I can bring my dogs, even though they are inevitably better behaved and less disruptive than most children, who are permitted to go almost anywhere.

42. Yeah, that works
You've got my vote!

I don't want a law, I want to repeal at least half the laws that are on the books already. I think the reason lawyers are so successful, and viewed as if they practically have magical powers, is that what they really do is locate and exploit contradictions and loopholes within the body of law-- so to disempower lawyers, we need to get rid of the contradictions and loopholes.

Ditto certain Supreme Court precedents that the Court never actually decided: the corporations-are-people-too provision and the end of the Fairness Doctrine for broadcasters were never actually voted on by the courts, but were slipped into decisions by winger clerks!

I've heard that's been a law at Ben and Jerry's. The CEO is only paid that kind of percentage. I think it's 12X, though, not 10X.

40. Gloria's laws (I want more than one)
1st Gloria Law: Stupid people are prohibited from driving. Anyone driving while talking on a cell phone will instantly be deemed stupid, stopped by the police, and must walk home. I don't care if the whole 3rd grade soccer team is in your boat on wheels...you're walking.

2nd Gloria Law: Most desserts will have negative calories.

Both of which are incredibly frightening things that I've observed drivers doing while on the expressway during rush hour.
