It is a lot better now. I remember in the 70's my wife tried to buy panty hose on Sunday and they wouldn't let her. I thought she was going to explode.

Those were the days of the Blue Laws, it was stange, stuff like you can buy nails but not a hammer, a lot of crazy stuff.

What it really meant was some things could not be sold for 7 consective days, so stores started closing on Saturday and opening on Sunday... Really weird..

I heard some contruction guys talking at the pool hall last night. They were someplace in Tennessee in a bar playing pool on a Sunday. Well the jukebox was playing and one of the guys was kinda dancing with his cuestick. The bar owner rushed over and informed them there was a law against dancing on Sundays. He said "I'm serious, I could lose my liquor liscense" /ccboard/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

referring to the law about urinating on the alamo, I think this was created because Ozzy Osbourne pissed on it. Don't ask why, I have no idea, but he was probably drunk. I didn't know about the wire cutters here in Austin. I'll have to be careful.
