The very people that come up with these pearl clutch laws are the same people who also want to legalize marrying 12 year olds. But won't anyone think of the children, PLEASE!

what is not fair is that all texans have at least one dildo as long as elon resides there.

So they just rent the ones over 6?

Nah, just adapt the little free library idea. Little neighborhood kiosks where people can share their dildos freely.

I'm interested in seeing a judicial decision on whether a double ended dildo counts as one dildo or two dildos.

If you create a religion with a dildo being recognized by your dogma as official iconography, could you unlock "unlimited dildos" based upon religious freedom exceptions?

Bonus points if the religion is a sect of christanity.

What if they're dildo shaped guns? Would Texas ever dare to ban those?

Me, who lived in Texas for 22 years.

Does this mean that independent sex shops will thrive in texas? It could be a good thing for small business.

These people CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will there be an official Office of Dildo Inspections? With Dildo Inspectors making rounds, carefully checking every household for staying within their allotted number of items? Will the billboards aside the vast highways advertise the government hotline for anonymous reporting of infractions?

And if not, well, they're clearly cowards. If you're going to pass a law like that, you have to go all the way!

Seriously though, I sometimes wonder how this period of time will be described in history books 50 years from now.
