No D.W.T. in Washington

I was busy at my desk with the national news on TV when I heard the anchor announce that Washington has passed a law against driving while Texan. It's really true.

I was in an abstracted reverie as I waited for the full story, which, when it eventually unraveled, was about how Washington State has passed a law against driving while texting. It is now a crime to read or send a text message on a mobile phone or PDA while driving in Washington. Not exactly as good as Driving While Texan, but not a bad law all in all.
