Abbott Considering Other Measures to Prevent People from Ever Setting Foot in Texas
AUSTIN (The Borowitz Report)Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that he was actively considering additional measures to prevent people from wanting to ever set foot in the state.
Although he acknowledged that new laws banning most abortions, restricting voting, and allowing citizens to carry a gun without a permit or training would dissuade many from visiting Texas, Abbott said that theres more we can do.
Maybe we pass a law that says when you have to go to bed every night, or when youre allowed to use a hair dryer, he said. We need to put our thinking caps on.
Just spitballing here, but what if we mandated that every visitor to Texas got bitten by a dog or poked with a stick of some kind? he said. Ill be damned if that wouldnt do the trick.
Even as he works overtime thinking up new ideas to alienate potential visitors to Texas, he admitted he was surprised that anyone still wanted to come. Honestly, I thought me being Governor would be enough to keep people out, he said.
