I was reading the Purg thread called A law to stop anyone from doing anything? . The game here is to invent a law against anti-social, annoying, poor behavior; the next player invents a suitable penalty and then proposes the next "crime" to be outlawed.
For example: Poster A: Passing gas in an enclosed space such as a bus, restaurant, theater. Poster B: Penalty- Clean out a pig pen with a teaspoon for one week.
Keep it funny. No death penalties. New law: Serving food on flimsy paper plates forbidden.
