That is easily the most messed up law I have heard of... Well, except for the "flogging for riding in a guy's car" post earlier.. we had a similar thing going in Canada for awhile, where businessmen could jump the line by investing money in a "development" fund, but that ended quickly when everyone found out the fund was being invested by bureaucrats, and therefore losing huge amounts of cash. But they certainly didn't discriminate! No, seriously…
