They never tell you these things until afterwards. How was I supposed to know?

In Texas, it is against the law to hunt buffalo from the 2nd floor of a hotel...


So its okay to hunt buffalo from the 6th floor?

Living just down the road from New Orleans, I understand the tradition of firing pistols and rifles into the air, celebrating everything....but it just seems so wrong that I can't fire my cannon into the air....

What is ironic about these laws is there is a historical reason they came to be, even if they are, for lack of better works, STUPID to us.

In other words, people way back then were having way too much fun?!?!?!

In Texas it is against the law to drive an automobile on public roads and highways without windshield wipers. There is however no law that requires windshields.

Also in Texas, the drinking age is 21 unless your spouse or parents give you the alcohol.

Also in Texas, anyone in a moving vehicle may have an open container and be drinking except the driver.

In Chico California there is a $500 fine for detonating a nuclear device within city limits.

Actually the Texas law only requires windshield wipers if you have a windshield, which is NOT required. Dune buggies are the reason I guess, but know a quy who kicked out his windshield on a clunker rather than fix it and argured with the inspector, who reluctantly had to pass the vehicle. NOW you need something on which to affix the inspection sticker and the license sticker (which normally go in the lower left corner of the windshield.) Ah Ha.. one small piece of plexiglass does the trick on the buggies.
