February 1, 2000
~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
A bill introduced in the Mississippi state legislature
by Republican state Senator Tom King would make it illegal
for a man to appear in public when sexually aroused.
More specifically, it bans "the showing of covered
male genitals in a discernibly turgid state," and
offenders face a year in prison and a $2,000 fine.
But just how does one know this crime is being committed?
