Texas housewife busted for hawking erotic toys (by narcotics officers!)

A Texas housewife is in big trouble with the law for selling a vibrator to a pair of undercover cops, and the Brisbane vibrator company she works for says Texas is an "antiquated place'' with more than its share of "prudes.''

There's a lot of laws we need off the books here in Texas.

This is one of many.

Makes us look like a bunch of dildos.

[TurtleTrap]

I think she should be executed.

[Trampled by Lambs]

Use a dildo, go to jail. It's that simple.

This simply defies any attempt to make it more absurd than it already is.

Until a few years ago, there was a law on the books in AZ making it a crime to have more than 3 dildos per household.

I don't know how anyone managed to scrape by with only 3...

[Eris]

I'm really wondering if three was what was agreed on in conference committee.

And I'd love to see a transcript of the negotiations.

[Comus]

If dildos are illegal in Texas, does that mean Algore can't go there?

[stylin_geek]

ROFLMAO!

[Arkinsaw]

Here is my reaction based on the impression I have now of Cleburne, Texas and the people running the place.

HAWHAWHAWHAWHAW what a bunch of dildos and the dildos who elected/hired them.

(you know you have done something stupid when the Arkies are pointing fingers and laughing....my sympathies)

"Until a few years ago, there was a law on the books in AZ making it a crime to have more than 3 dildos per household."

Ya know, when I read things like this my mind immediately tries to figure out how they arrived at the number three as being the limit.

The only correlation I can think of is number of ahh, err, available orifices in the human body?

The mind boggles. The local law and order crowd should chime in about this bust. After all, selling dildos must be a crime, or the bust couldn't have proceeded this far in the system.

LOL at the "3 dildo household maximum."

"I tell you what, if me & Peggy hadn'ta discovered that Slippery Stuff, Lickety Lube and Lucky Stiff we might not still be married today. And Bobby has lost that nervous tic he had since we got him that battery-powered Jelly Julie ("with them soft jelly silicone lips"). I tell you what..."...Hank Hill.

[gipper81]

this is going to be good....

[longtermmemmory]

Lawrence decision.

If in Mass she could marry it.

[najida]

Oh dear lord....

~~sigh~~
Thank goodness there are personal massagers ;)

[tacticalogic]

Can they subpoena your phone records and bust you if they catch you dialing your own pager too often?

[Joe Bfstplk]

Buzz off (in Texas).

[demlosers]

So Texas is going after vibrating house wives? Is the 'missonary position' the only legal sex in Texas?

[StoneColdGOP]

Unbelievable.
