Not funny --methinks they like to lock people up in Texas--bunch of prudes. Aren't they the ones that have folks locked up for life for pot possession?

i can't stop, this is crazy...
Women are prohibited by law in some jurisdictions from addressing male strangers as "honey", "sweetie", or "darlin", and from patting or pinching the butt of strange men

National Park Service laws do not allow anyone to kill a bear with their bare hands just to impress a girl.

Also, women aren't allowed to eat pickles with their feet up on porch railings.

and so on and on and on...
i can't belive they even existed once

My favorite line from that story:

In Cleveland, women aren't allowed to wear patent-leather shoes in public - a man might see the reflection of something "he oughtn't!"

The HMWH Club is now taking donations to vigorously fight this law, and get me the hell out of jail tonight.

Damn, that was premeditated. I'm screwed!

Texas housewife busted for hawking erotic toys

These things seem legal enough here in Houston. Plenty of well advertised "adult literature" places openly sell them. Houston also has a lot of very prominently advertised "gentlemen's clubs". She should move her franchise here.

Apparently, her STAFF stood FIRMLY BEHIND HER. There is no reason for such STIFF penalties for such behavior. Perhaps she should sell fishing RODS instead of vibrators. This is a highly specialized type of police work, where the officer PENETRATES insidious networks of perversion operating under the cover of the law in the Dallas area. It's a good thing the Dallas PD has officers that know the INS AND OUTS of the underground in this city. In this day and age, you never know who will GET IT IN THE END!
