It isn’t happening here. The straw movement is a California invention.

It isn’t all straws, it’s only the high-capacity assault straws. Why would anyone need those weapons of war to suck on a soft drink?

This sounds like a straw man argument to me.

I think I’m going to start asking for an extra straw when I order a drink. After all, the children of straw makers have to eat too.

I heard that they make straws out of macaroni. That actually sounds like a good idea. Then you can eat it after your finished with it.

Straw is “warts” spelled backwards.

Got a paper straw at an overpriced burger joint at Harrah’s Atlantic city. If I wasn’t in a hurry I would have raised a fuss.

I use canning jars for cold drinks...have holes in the lids and we use straws since we usually take drinks outside to keep our drink clean.

A cowboy came by a couple days ago and as I fixed him a cold drink to take outside I told him he was lucky we could still have straws in NM. He had not even heard about the big straw controversy. You should have heard me trying to explain it to him, that is when it really strikes you how downright stupid things have become.

The killer was the cowboy looked confused as I am and then said well we used to have paper straws but wasn’t it the same kind of idiots that were worried about trees back then?

If I remember correctly, back when we had a little more than half the population that we have now, straws were made of paper. They were okay, although they collapsed a little easier when used. Cups were waxed paper, too.

>>Bob Beavers III, the Chairman of Best Diamond Plastics, says “the number of straws we produce begins with a b.”<<
