Don’t Get Caught!
By: Adrea Nairne-Barrera / Senior Moments
So you think we have some crazy laws here
in Nevada? Think again. The wild state of
Texas has outdone itself and these laws are still
on the books:
1. Criminals who intend in committing crimes must give their
victims oral or written notice 24 hours in advance and include the
nature of the crime.
2. It is illegal to dust a public building with a feather duster.
3. It is illegal to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.
4. You must have a $5.00 permit to walk around barefoot.
5. Throw out those encyclopedias! The Encyclopedia Britannica is
banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer.
6. You cannot buy beer on Sunday in Houston after midnight, but
you can buy it on Monday. Think about it.
7. When two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, they both
must stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.
8. It is legal for a chicken to have sex with you but it’s illegal to
reciprocate.
9. It is illegal to shoot an Indian from a streetcar.
10. In Texarkana, owners of horse may not ride them at night
without taillights.
11. It is illegal to drive without windshield wipers. You don’t need a
windshield, but you must have the wipers.
But, getting back to our home state of Nevada, here’s a couple I’ll bet
you never knew:
1. It is illegal to drive a camel on the highway. You don’t see many
of those.
2. As of 2010, you cannot have hula hoops more than 4 feet in
diameter on Fremont Street. No contests folks!
And to top it all off, this takes the cake: It is illegal in Liverpool,
England for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish
store. I have no idea what or how to respond to this one.
There are dozens of insane laws on the books of all states and if you
want to have a fun read, google crazy laws and laugh yourself silly.
Adrea likes to opine and find the lighter side of life as a senior.

You Gotta Laugh
By: Bill Caserta / Bill’s Blurbs
Editor’s Note: Yes, June has Father’s Day,
but Bill thought it would be smarter if
he celebrated that day by discussing the better
half. So as only he can do…
And a big Bill Blurb “thank you” to Sun City
Anthem resident John Gavlik for his contribution.
1. Behind every angry woman stands a man who has absolutely no
idea what he did wrong.
2. Never make a woman mad. They can remember stuff that hasn’t
even happened yet.
3. If a woman says, “First of all” during an argument, run away,
because she has prepared research, data charts and will destroy you.
4. A wise man once said nothing.
5. “My wife has been sleeping with the same man for over 20 years...
and I just found out yesterday”- Chuck Berris.
6. “My wife said, ‘Take me on a vacation to where I’ve never been
before’...so I took her to the kitchen”- Henny Youngman.
* So Chuck is walking home in his Sun City community late at
night when he sees the indistinct shadow of a woman in the bushes.
“Ten dollars,” she whispers.
Well Chuck had never been with a prostitute before, but he figures,
“What the heck, it’s only ten dollars.”
They begin to engage in mad passionate love when suddenly there is
a light shining on them. It’s the police.
“What’s going on here?” asks the cop. Indignantly, Chuck says “I’m
making love with my wife.”
“I’m sorry,” said the officer. “I didn’t know.”
“Neither did I,” says Chuck, “until you shined that damned light on
her face.”
