why don't you give him your address and he can just send you the bill directly since it seems to all be coming out of your pocket anyway.

Oh, but wait, here's a few more from Texas:
It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.
Up to a felony charge can be levied for promoting the use of, or owning more than six dildos.
Full text of the law.
It is illegal for one to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.
It is illegal to milk another person’s cow.
A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.
Homosexual behavior is a misdemeanor offense.
Why does this law exist?
Full text of the law.
The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.

Stupid and restrictive is EVERYWHERE.

By the time I'm taking three sips of beer, I'm already sprawled out on the floor in a drunken stupor from the other stuff I drank ... so ..... I guess I could have stayed in TX, if I wanted to ..... Nah ........ I like being a stupid Californian in stupid 'ol California.

Either the man hasn't enough to do or his priorities are completely out of whack. Same thing with the Portland mayor, and I'm GLAD to be in the burbs.
Yeah ... those flouride hogs!!!

Stop usin' them big, multi-syllabic words like "adjective." People in Fontalajara (it flows better like that) who are recent high school graduates won't know what yur talkin' 'bout; or anywhere else for that matter.

You're just "barely" noticing this?

You mean like that right?
