Nu Scotty, the laws in Dailyville are quite different than the rest of the States. Hell, the laws in Dailyville are different that the rest of the state of Illinois!

I thought it was $50M for the bridge netting. $5.00 would be too much IMHO.

Legalizing pot and prostitution would sure save a lot of taxpayer's dollars. In fact, it would even put dollars into the taxpayer's pot. Don't'cha think?

Yeh, my wife and I decided to go someplace we could afford Kay, you know still being in college and all. We enjoyed it since it was a secluded cabin in the mountains and we were on our honeymoon. If you'd like to shell out some bucks I'd be happy to take another trip. On second thought, maybe you should keep your money for a proper dildo rather than a power screwdriver. 😉

Kay - I think we had a misunderstanding. I didn't say we went to Gaithersburg for our honeymoon, we went to Gatlinburg.
