Subject: Mild humor: A Texas Love Affair Texas true story. As told by xxxxxx to yyyyyyy (both former colleagues at MCC, now making their lives in the real world): Yesterday I spent 6 hours in my defensive driving class, and learned one thing that was noteworthy. Say you're driving down the road in your pick-em-up truck with the kids in the back. Zoom, you go around a corner and lose one of the kids over the side. What happens? You get a ticket for "failure to secure a load." Now, say you're going down the same road with your dogs in the back, make the same corner & lose a dog overboard. In this case, you get TWO tickets: one for failure to secure a load and another for cruelty to animals. GOD I LOVE THIS STATE!!
