http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/25/us-usa-kansas-auction-idUSKCN0HK2BB20140925(Reuters) - Kansas is looking to make up for lost taxes through an auction of handcuffs, vibrators and other items seized from a defunct chain of sex novelty stores, despite objections from a lawmaker who accused the state of dealing in pornography.
The online auction from the chain called "Bang!" will be held through next Tuesday, with the goods available for public starting Monday.
"Something for everyone!" said a promotion of the sale on Equip-Bid.com, the auction company.
The five Bang! stores in Kansas, doing business as United Outlets LLC, owe $163,986 in sales, income and withholding taxes, said Kansas Department of Revenue spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda.

This just makes my life in this state worthwhile. It has to really rankle him. It is sure getting a lot of laughs around here.
What WOULD Jesus say?
As I said in another post, and it certainly fits now. Our old state slogan was "Ah Ahhhhh Kansas" I think it is apt. They got tired of the jokes and changed it to "Kansas Bigger Than You Think". They both fit well don't you think?

(34,120 posts)to buy one of the biggest vibrators being sold, paint it gold and mount it (ha ha) on a platform and send it to the Governors office. (just my mind in overdrive this morning) I am acquainted with Sam and this has to be really bugging the shit out of him.
OK enough from me. I have work to do.
