Man Law
I'm sure this is happening elsewhere, among newspaper columnists and radio talk show hosts -- it's kind of irresistible -- but why should that stop us? I like fun.
While you could enter a Man Law contest and win valuable prizes with your entries, I'm offering placement in this blog and a modest Sun prize for those who submit particularly clever ones here -- just for the fun of it. (If you decide to enter the national contest and go for the big prizes, I'll understand.)
Here's one of my own, which occured to me last Saturday morning in a bagel shop near Towson:
No fruit in bagels. When purchasing bagels for oneself and female others, fruity bagels should be bagged seperately from hearty (garlic, everything, jalapeno) bagels, and the latter should be bagged in a 'man bag.'
Man Law?
MAN LAW!!
Here's another from reader Jacob Goins:
"If you're 13 years or older, you cannot bring your baseball glove to the ballpark. A man can only catch foul balls with his bare hands."
Man Law!

No man shall carry a gun for "protection."

For Matthew, either you are kidding, or we should refile that under silly things someone who likes to waste money says...
