Something Else That's Illegal in Texas

According to morons.com, an excellent source of news about stupidity in the world, there is some law on the books in Texas limiting ownership of sex toys. So what, you might think, there are strange old laws all over the place that no one pays any attention to. Except, this being Texas, some poor woman is now facing two years of jail time for transporting her stash of happy wands (with intent to sell). Don't take my word for it. Here's the lead from the article, courtesy of the aptly-named Cox News Service:

WHITE OAK, Texas -- A woman who sells sex toys has been charged with felony obscenity after White Oak police found some of her wares in her car during a traffic stop earlier this week.

The arrest report describes the 17 items as "obscene materials and obscene devices," but Police Chief Charlie Smith said the items were mostly lotions and objects defined in a dictionary as having the shape and often the appearance of the male genitalia, used in sexual stimulation. READ THE REST.

Salon's own Reverse Cowgirl may want to keep this in mind if she decides to go bronco-busting in the Lone Star state.
