Attn: Hiring Penis Police!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I read this from Rueters.

Mississipi is proposing a law that men who are visibly aroused in public may face up to a year in jail and a $2,000.00 fine.

The senator who introduced this was quoted “the showing of covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state.”

I want to flame about this, but this is so absurd I can’t help but laugh at how ridiculous this is.

What, are they going to take measurements before a man goes in a strip club then again when he leaves?

What about the man with the terminal hard on? Guess he deserves life in prison.

What’s next, hard nipples in public?

LOL!!!
Sounds like the senator has a problem with his own “discernibly turgid state” and is taking it out on his constituents!!!

And to think our taxes go to pay the people who feel it necessary to address such issues!!!

I do not have a penis, but IIRC, a man does not have to be sexually aroused to get an erection. So, what’s going to happen here? All the men have to stay indoors when it gets really windy outside?

OH! MY! GAWD! This is without a doubt the most absurd, ridiculous and disgusting proposed legislation I have heard in ages. Who is the moron Senator that thought up this stupidity? What state is he/she from? I want to make sure never to vote for them!

And one thing I’d like to know about how they’re going to enforce it…

Just who the hell is going to determine if the guy is “turgid” or not, and how? Is someone going to feel the guy up to see if he’s just well endowed or actually “hard?” I just cannot get over this.

And I guess next (besides the ban on hard nipples), they’ll impose fines on the men or women who actually cause men to become aroused in public. I mean really. Will they fine me if I purposefully seduce a man to encourage him to become “turgid” while we’re at dinner or at a club? Good thing this stupidity hasn’t been a law for the past 20 years, or I’d have had a few dates arrested on our way out of restaurants!

Sheesh!

You’re up for it, Chief?

What the hell is that law FOR?

Or, in proper English, for what hell is that law?

I guess that would make it misdemeanor, half a year, and $1000 find if you stuff your pants?

Geez, those people are nuts!

You realize this means that they’re gonna have to ban gym class for all teenage boys…

I think he just wanted the opportunity to use the word ‘turgid’ in a piece of legislation. How often do you get to use the word, after all? Turgid…turgid…he was, they were…

Yeah, tumescent would have been too tacky.

Shayna,

He’s a state senator from Mississippi, his name is Tom King…keep an eye on him if he happens to run for federal government.

LOL Chief, what about the meter men? Should they be retrained to feel up a woman too? < giggle >

I had to look up the actual definition of turgid as I had never heard the word used before: 1. being in a state of distension : SWOLLEN, TUMID. …Tumid 1. marked by swelling : SWOLLEN, ENLARGED <a badly infected~leg>

geez, that kind of disgusting.

12

dangit, my definition had < > around it, it should have read:

…Tumid 1. marked by swelling : SWOLLEN, ENLARGED < a badly infected ~ leg >

eeeek

I’m just posting here as an opportunity to use the word “turgid”. I don’t think I’ve ever used that word before.

and two observations:

windchill factor here yesterday was -34; the joke I intend to make should be so obvious it needn’t be typed :rolleyes:

and now for my second observation, which will sound considerably more intelligent:

there are always people trying to shut down strip clubs through legislation. This could be an indirect way to try to do it.

Hard(hehe) as it may be, I am willing to volunteer my services to uphold(hehe) this new law. Penalties should most definately be rigid(hehe).

I stand in awe. Just think of the legal giggles that would ensue:

  • what would they name the law–and the offese? Possession of a Public Boner?

  • the poor cops; "hey, you buddy…yeah, I’m talking to you. You got a weapon on ya? Well, if you don’t you’re in violation of the Boner Law.

  • evidence of the crime. Just think about it.

  • the trials; what about that porn star (I forget his name), the one who was endowed like a bull elephant? “We enter in evidence…” “Counsel for the defense my approach the bench; please step over Exhibit A.”

  • the delerious case law that would follow; “It was involuntary, and for evidence we offer this total babe in a tube top”…and the lawyers tables and the judges desk rise 4".

Sheesh, SNL couldn’t make up something this stupid.

Or, wait, should that be ‘penilties’?

Stiff penilties!

Now that baggy clothing will never go out of style.

This is an outrage! I rise (heh) against this assault on the hard-won (heh heh) civil liberties of the eternally erect. We must arouse (heh heh heh) ourselves to oppose this flaccid (heh heh heh heh) piece of legislation.

I might as well just go turn myself in now, cause I’ll be the first one they get.
