Oh, Texas...

I always learn something new when I watch telly. Last night on The Love Lounge, which is the Malaysian equivalent of Pillow Talk, except that it's a little more honest, all about sex without the annoying host..I forget her name..Bernie something. Anyway, FACT (from The Love Lounge) :

In Texas, if you're over 50 or if you only have one eye, you cannot go to jail for 'Peeping Tom' offences.

First of all - the very definition of 'peep' suggests one eye. I mean, when you're looking through a peep hole, they're not really big enough for both eyes now, are they? When someone 'peeps' it always suggests looking through a small opening as to offer discretion and secrecy. So, how does a one eye handicap protect a man from 'peeping tom' punishment. He still can SEE. What, just because he has one eye he gets only half the pleasure, so it doesn't really count? Oh, Texas.

As for men over 50, they are hardly in the frail threshold of senior citizens, maybe men over 90. At 51, I don't think senility has really manifested itself, plus all those psycological theories about the cyclical nature of psycology - your brain almost returns to its infant state as you progressively grow older - also doesn't really manifest itself till you're much older. If that was the norm, we'd all be taking care of our incontinent parents even before we graduate from college. ALL men who sexually harass women at ANY age should be held accountable. Start making exceptions and the next thing you know, well, one-testicaled men are getting off with rape. A little extreme I guess, but I've come to overestimate Texas. Oh, Texas.
