Indiana Becomes Fourth State To Ban Great Sex

INDIANAPOLIS—Following the lead of Missouri, Oklahoma, and Georgia, the Indiana legislature Tuesday passed “HB 1679: Prohibiting Sexual Intercourse Of An Excessively Pleasurable Nature,” officially becoming the fourth state in the country to outlaw great sex. “Here in Indiana, we have long believed that sexual activity should be brief, unexceptional, and performed in the most perfunctory of ways, and the landmark legislation we sent to the governor today embodies the traditional values that are so deeply ingrained in this state,” said State Senator Mark Messmer in a morning news conference, explaining that any sexual relations in which the participants are mutually satisfied emotionally or physically would result in fines of up to $1,000, depending on how incredible the sex was. “By restricting sexual activity to seven minutes or less and banning all sexual positions within the state aside from the missionary position, this bold new law stands up for the passable, fairly mechanical sex that my fellow Hoosiers and I have long disinterestedly engaged in—and that we will continue to disinterestedly engage in, provided we do so no more than twice per calendar month, as per the legally mandated limit.” Messmer went on to say that he didn’t anticipate any negative effects from the ban as nearly every Indiana resident was already in compliance with the new law.

So he would know I wasn't lying!

But then this was a guy whose gf he got after we split...the Christmas present he got her, that he told me she didn't seem happy with. He had gotten her a lint brush.

It would be less uncomfortable to be watched by a Siamese with untrimmed claws and possessiveness issues.

No nursing home or "assisted living" place would tolerate my grandma for long so she'd end up back at my parent's house. (This was after grandma had to be removed from the home she owned as a danger to herself and others.)

Grandma's cat lived in grandma's room, whether grandma was there or not.

And cat would watch... If we closed the door she would peer in the windows. Close the blinds, she would peer through the gaps.

Privacy was impossible even when my grandma, my parents, and all my siblings were away.

She lived a long cat life, lord master of everyone in the house and protector of my grandma, who was the only person she ever displayed any affection for.

Our most unruly family dogs respected that cat, they'd back away and bow down whenever she'd come by to inspect their food or water dishes.

limiting people to the missionary position would eliminate most forms of homosexual sex.

This was in the 1970's and there were always 6 or 8 of us,
mixed male and female, gay and straight.
If you know the town, we stayed at the campground.

Just sitting on the curb on Commercial Street, watching guys in leather and bondage walking down the street would cause Pence to curl up and die.

Good memories.
