    I have heard that when cars were a rare thing in the Old West that drivers had to stop at intersections, get out, and fire a gun to warn any horse-powered cross traffic. It sounds like total bs but there have been stranger laws…

      Only in the past handful of years was it no longer made illegal to sneeze in public here in Texas.

      It was an old holdover law from when sneezing might spook someone’s horse. Not enforced for obvious reasons, though.
