This quote from "Chesty" Puller has always brought a smile to my face.
"They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can't get away from us now!"

There's no way these could possibly get published in today's PC world...

OOO RAHHH Chesty is awesome.

Q. How many Marines does it take to push a knife-wielding thief off a kerb?
A. None, he slipped.

Serves the idiot right for stabbing a military man :p

Too right. He's lucky they didn't kill him.

My wife works as a paralegal....she dropped this on me earlier today...WARNING!!!

Top Ten Silly Sex Laws In The United States

1. Oral sex is illegal in 18 states.

2. In Virginia, it is illegal to make love with the lights on.

3. It is illegal for husbands in Willowdale, Oregon to talk dirty during intercourse.

4. Sexual intercourse between unmarried couples is illegal in Georgia.

5. Engaging in any sexual position other than missionary is illegal in Washington D.C.

6. In Connorsville, Wisconsin, it is illegal for a man to shoot off a gun when his female partner is having an orgasm.

7. In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, it is illegal to have sex with a truck driver inside a toll booth.

8. Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal in Florida.

9. It is illegal in Utah to marry your first cousin before the age of 65.

10. Sex with animals is perfectly legal for men in Washington state, as long as the animal weighs less than 40 pounds.

After reviewing this list, one is left with the impression that local governments have waaaayyy too much free time on their hands; that some of the special interest groups really need to get a life; and that somewhere, in some police department, some poor shmuck has to investigate these "crimes".

And I'm sure he immediately tried to place the blame on someone else!

These aren't sex laws, but...

1) In San Antonio, it's actually legal to own an alligator as a pet. But it's illegal to walk him downtown, and when you walk him in your neighborhood or a public park, he must be leashed.

2) It's illegal in Texas to hunt with a sword, a sword being defined as being a weapon with a blade of more than 15 inches or a total length of 24 inches or greater.

The heat must do weird things to people in Texas, that's the only logical explanation I can come up with. :confused:

Oh, and was stuck in Texas at both Lackland and Sheppard for close to a year just for training way back when....not too anxious to go back, no offense. :p

In defense of Texas, the state would do pretty well as its own nation. In terms of population, Texas has more people than the median UN member. In terms of land mass, Texas has plenty. Geography and geology are varied. The agricultural base, industrial base, and extractive industries are all well-developed. If there's a part of the state you don't like, there are plenty of other places to go. I haven't spent a lot of time in Texas, but I like it well enough. Were I still a single man, I probably would have left California years ago and ended up in Arizona or Texas (where gun laws and the climate are to my liking, if not always the rest of the politics).

Damnit! There goes the hog hunt me & a friend were planning. I guess it'll be pistols.

Black powder duelling pistols I should hope!?

Heeeyyyyy, I like the way you think. But it will have to be cap & ball revolvers, don't have any dueling pistols.

BUT you can bait and trap game.. or shoot them from aircraft. Shows where there are guts and sports involved here eh? I say we get the sword repealed, better yet make it the only way to harvest feral hogs... go out with a long blade or spear and face the tusker face to face.. rather then turn your dogs on it and let it rip them up so you can staple them together and wrap some duct tape on them. (got that second hand info from a taxidermist friend of mine when we were discussing a hog he was working on.).

They don't HUNT in Texas, they only HARVEST.. Yeah it's one of my peeves of the Great State of Texas, and has been since I got here in '87.

I like to think of it as AMBUSHING, specially deer. I mean, you set up a feeder that goes off at dawn and dusk, luring the deer to feed. Then you set up a stand, 10' pluss off the ground, in easy rifle range. And then you just wait.

Sounds like one of my favorite stupid-criminal stories. The rumor is that two guys wanted to hold up a convenience store, but wanted to avoid the minimum sentence for using a gun. They took baseball bats!

(OK, they have half a brain between them, but awful luck.)

Seems the guy behind the counter was a hand-to-hand combat instructor-- rumor is he had been in the Israeli Army. He beat them up with their own bats. And then called the sheriff.

Not a stupid thing at all (except on the part of the crims who repeatedly tried to rob him), but similar in essence to this post - I just recently heard about Lance Thomas in a magazine article. I reckon he'd make a pretty cool NPC :)

Welcome to the board. What part of East Texas are you in?

When I see a British or German APC I half expect it to have beer and cigarette dispensers on the sides. ;)

Allied Forces Headquarters (WWII Mediterranean Theater) was famous for a number of surveys, seeking to identify ways to improve the lot of the common soldier as well as providing gainful employment to its thousands of REMFs.

One of more REMF moments was the idea to have soldiers write an essay on "Why I'm Fighting"...the winner would get a five day pass to Algiers. The winning essay, in its entirety: "I was drafted."

It wasn't me, I swear!
What, knives, pistols and baseball bats not enough to be concerned? :confused:

Maybe they thought they were in a zombie move? :cool:

the has to be a good story behind these ones. they're too specific for someone to have just thought them up without someone actually doing it.(and number 8 sounds painful)

#8 should be illegal everywhere!

"Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal in Florida."

Am I the only one who finds it disturbing that there's a place where this apparently was a big enough problem someone saw the need to make a law against it?

"7. In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, it is illegal to have sex with a truck driver inside a toll booth."

And rightly so! It would interfere with the timely performance of the toll-taker's duties. Such things should be done either in the truck driver's cab or on TOP of the toll booth and only on the toll employee's breaktime!

BTW, I live about 2 miles from a very busy toll interchange. Gonna hafta break out the binoculars and start toll-gazing....;)

Actually, I believe if enough perpetrators were allowed to carry out their desires, the gene pool filter would be self-cleaning in this instance.
I've heard of piercings in sensitive places for erotic stimulation, but.....

Hey, he was only paying his toll!!! Or perhaps sending a message to what he thought of the high tolls for trucks on the turnpike in PA?

But second thought, who says it was a male truckdriver?
