Lapses in Security
In spite of recent publicity exposing major lapses in TSA airport security, Bruce was not able to get his personal carry weapon through airport check-in concealed in his luggage . . .
Drought/Flood Conundrum
David, thinking outside the box, tried to figure out how to ship Texas’ excess flood water to California. Gov. Brown was receptive, but his constituency wanted to know if it was vegan; had it crossed borders legally; would it need Government help once it arrived, and did it qualify for ObamaCare? The nuts & bolts part–how to physically get it there–seemed to be lost somehow. The Libs worried a water pipeline might be used to move Texas oil to California. And who would they name it after–George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Cher, Lady Gaga? Gov. Brown was open, but the Californians were firm–NO BUSH . . .!
The Need for Speed
Horace felt the need for speed like an addict needs drugs. He found what promised to be the ultimate fix on eBay, and while interior room was going to be compromised–not to mention fuel mileage–it promised to be the speed fix he craved . . .
50 Shades of Gray/Earbud Problems
Twyla Sue’s husband had cautioned her about reading “50 Shades of Gray”–the book and reality may be somewhat different; so no need to get her high powered romantic hopes up. But, she reasoned, he hadn’t said anything about listening to the audio book version. She was so engrossed that she hadn’t heard him come in, and embarrassed, she tried to pull out her earbud, but only got the wire, leaving the offending earbud solidly stuck in her ear. How was she going to explain that bill for the ENT doctor to her husband . . . ?
Rock, but no Roll
Even though they were rocks, and he had named them Jerry Lee, Chuck Berry, the Who, Elvis and, of course the Beatles, and–wait for it–the Stones, Jack’s eBay auction hadn’t brought the bidding war he had counted on . . .
Texas Open Carry Law
While waiting for the Governor’s signature for the new Texas Open Carry Law, some thought the bill was a little vague not only on the open carry concept itself, but on what you could carry openly. Some of the less conservative groups thought that the gun show crowd might be pushing the envelope just a little . . .
