Texas politics used to be funny in a way that it no longer is, and now is only profoundly dark. For example, in 1986, Texas attempted to ban anal sex. This measure was defeated because several East Texas members took the floor to object that sometimes it was an accident. -OS

Molly Ivins said at the time that someone - I think the bill sponsor and House Speaker - shook hands and someone should have jumped up to object because the body had just voted to make it illegal for a prick to touch an asshole.

I grew up in Beaumont in ‘86. They had to be from there. That place is fucked.

TLDR for me, but here’s an interesting legal review titled THE UNKNOWN PAST OF LAWRENCE V. TEXAS by Dale Carpenter for any of you smarty pants out there.

Yeah ... Accident ... Same as sometimes it's too dark for Texans to see they're in bed with their cousins. (That's why Texas has so many power blackouts)

Wow sir, that took a turn I was not expecting but enjoyed nonetheless. Now can you tell us why there’s a limit on how many sex toys you can purchase in Texas? Inquiring minds would want to know.

Them boys in East Texas don't think you should have more toys than holes. Confuses the hell out of them. -OS

That makes a whole lotta sense in a farming community kinda way. Counting isn’t always easy when you’re expecting an accident at any moment.

Is that in total or in a single purchase? Also - pro tip: If you buy a diesel generator to power your vibrators you can always just straddle the generator* instead. (*fast idle setting is best)

I believe the limit is 6 sex toys but now how that came about or if that’s still a Texas law.
