Don’t Mess with The Fajitas in Texas 

    In Texas a person can get by with many things. You can carry a concealed gun without asking anyone’s permission. You can pick your own speed on the roads, especially in the western part of the state. You can shout “ye ha” during any pause at the Symphony without getting dirty, or sympathetic looks from your fellow concert goers. You can wear your ten-gallon hat during the opera, and nobody will take exception, except maybe the short little lady sitting directly behind you. You can tell a totally outrageous story about oil, armadillos, snakes, or just anything, and Texans will be okay with that, as long as the oil, armadillos, snakes or whatever is in or from Texas. 
    But one thing in Texas you better not do is use Fajitas in an unseemly fashion. Example---A gentleman who was working for the Cameron County Juvenile Center was in the habit of ordering Fajitas for the Center, for which the Center paid. But this guy would intercept the delivery of Fajitas, and then sell them to his own customers. He had been doing this for about nine years, which cost the Juvenile Center 1.2 million dollars.
    Things were going along just fine until one day he was at a medical appointment when a delivery of Fajitas arrived at the center. Eight hundred pounds of them. The other people at the Center became a little suspicious when they found that no one had ordered the Fajitas, or at least no one who was present. 
    This led to some questions, and now fifty-three-year-old Gilberto Escamilla is being sent up for fifty years. 
    Moral of this news item: If you’re in Texas, don’t mess around with their Fajitas. 

They’re Just Kids 

    Speaking of authorities that are out to kill whatever fun somebody can think up - - - It seems that in Norway high school graduates have a weeks-long celebration called Russ, for those who care. This spring celebration, involves partying, sex, nudity, heavy drinking, and other things, some of which, tend to challenge public morals. In addition, there are numerous deaths among these young people due to mixing alcohol with driving. So, to quash the young spirits the authorities have put out the following announcement: “No Sex On Roundabouts.” This activity in and of itself is not that frowned upon, but the problem is that drivers, noticing naked bodies on and around the roundabouts, tend to get discombobulated, and have accidents. Therefore, the announcement. How’s that for coming down hard on the nation’s youth?
