Is the Law Really Such an Ass?

Bedlam Humour

It seems that Italy's high courts have made a new ruling. The nation's paramilitary police force - The Carabinieri - can now no longer indulge in the nation's favourite pastime....

Carabinieri will now be breaking the LAW if they have nooky on the side. No bit of fluff for them, no Italian swooning, no poppet passion .... In short, no extra-marital affairs. From now on, they must behave themselves and keep their trousers zipped tight.

Apparently, the Carabinieri's axiom is 'Faithful Through The Centuries', and the courts consider poppet passion to be a slur on the good name.

If there IS a misdemeanour, who is going to arrest whom? Are the carabinieri REALLY going to shop their mates for what they’re doing themselves .... and I wonder if the good members of the esteemed legal profession, those law MAKERS, will be setting an example to the carabinieri?

It seems to me to be a case of 'do as I say, not, do as I do'. Don't members of the Italian High Court, have mistresses?
