Louisiana May Ban Low-Slung Pants

You need to have a particular waist-to-hip ration in order to pull of these pants (ha!). Most people do not have this ration and therefore look like BOXY FOOLS.

I also almost always wear low-slung pants b/c I cannot stand to have the waistband go above my belly button. It bugs me.

I do my best to avoid any kind of flashing but it does happen on occassion. Pretty, not tacky, g-strings hopefully make the accident not too horrible.

Today in stupid Louisiana laws...

Law Bans Cash for Second Hand Transactions

Cold hard cash. It's good everywhere you go, right? You can use it to pay for anything.

But that's not the case here in Louisiana now. It's a law that was passed during this year's busy legislative session.

House bill 195 basically says those who buy and sell second hand goods cannot use cash to make those transactions, and it flew so far under the radar most businesses don't even know about it.

"We're gonna lose a lot of business," says Danny Guidry, who owns the Pioneer Trading Post in Lafayette. He deals in buying and selling unique second hand items.

"We don't want this cash transaction to be taken away from us. It's an everyday transaction," Guidry explains.

Guidry says, "I think everyone in this business once they find out about it. They're will definitely be a lot of uproar."

The law states those who buy or sell second hand goods are prohibited from using cash. State representative Rickey Hardy co-authored the bill.

Hardy says, "they give a check or a cashiers money order, or electronic one of those three mechanisms is used."

Hardy says the bill is targeted at criminals who steal anything from copper to televisions, and sell them for a quick buck. Having a paper trail will make it easier for law enforcement.

"It's a mechanism to be used so the police department has something to go on and have a lead," explains Hardy.

Makes total sense to anyone aware of the plague of copper theft across the U.S. Thieves will break into vacant houses (esp those on the market after foreclosure) and rip out all the wiring in a weekend (usually destroying the drywall in the process, for a few hundred dollars of copper wiring, costing the owners 10s of thousands for repairs. Entire street lighting systems and schools out for summer have also been gutted, though not (AFAIK) in Louisiana.
