Don't Go Texas

[anotheranon]

While the fact that dildos are illegal to sell in Texas wasn't news to me, I find it astounding that this law is actually being enforced!

Actually, I'm not sure which is more disturbing, that this woman was arrested for selling a sex toy or that undercover narcotics officers are being employed to uncover such "crimes". I'm no fan of punitive drug laws but surely there is enough illegal drug trafficking/use in Texas that their narcotics officers shouldn't be wasting their time on this!!

My family almost moved to Houston when I was in 7th grade, but backed out. Thank the makers - I don't think I would have survived!

Ha ha ha! I can see it now.... thousands of 6, 8 and 10 inchers floating down on little parachutes, in all manner of color, dimension and approximation of reality.

LOL! That would be WORTH getting jailed over!!

Oh, that is SUCH a mental image!! Someone needs to tell Michael Moore about this Texas law; he lives for ridiculing this sort of thing!

Oy, the law only says selling 'em is illegal. Which, theoretically, means that dropping free samples is quite legal. We just have to make sure we don't hit anybody on the head ... no sense getting charged with assault over this, specially since, in warped Texas law, hitting somebody on the head with a dildo likely qualifies as rape :P

Brings a whole new meaning to "safe sex", doesn't it? ;-)

!! Aha, a loophole! Maybe we can organize for donations to the needy people of Texas.

mental image: Dixie Chicks sitting in front of cosy fireplace with stockings up; Xmas tree off to the side. Each holds a brightly colored sex toy and an earnest expression

DC #1: Won't you please help us this holiday season?

DC #2: The people of our home state are denied the simple right to buy sex toys in the privacy of their own homes.

DC #3: So won't you please donate to the "Give a Texan a Dildo" fund? Your generous donation could guarantee orgasms this holiday season to those who currently have none.

Something tells me I ought not to try this writing thing this early in the morning...

Another temptation: buying a dildo, wrapping it up, with contents plainly and vividly marked on the wrapping, and mailing it to the governor of Texas. At his office. With an invoice stamped "paid in full." I wonder what would happen ...
