Easter Sunday aside, the first time that I ever heard of "blue laws" was when I was stationed at Ft. Hood in about 1982 - 1983. Some friends and myself went into a Piggly Wiggly in Kileen one Sunday to buy some beer to take to Belton Lake, and bought the beer. We were sold the beer. But as we walked through the store, there were chains across items with signs that read "This Item Cannot Be Sold On Sundays". Stuff like that throughout the store. So we're at the cash register paying for our beer and there was one right there blocking the sale of panty hose. Being from Indiana and having never seen such a thing, I asked the lady what the story was. "Blue Laws" she said to me. Never heard of a blue law and asked what's a blue law. "Laws to keep people from having to work on Sundays" she said back as we paid her for beer while she worked the cash register...on a Sunday. Good thing none of us needed to buy new panty hose. Then again, back then male GIs weren't allowed to where panty hose though, and to my knowledge none of my buddies did. They may have and maybe I just never noticed it. I didn't wear them either, and still don't. And if any of you fellas do, I don't want to know about it. You can buy and drink beer though, even on Sundays as far as I'm concerned.
Any of you fellas ever seen or heard of a Pizza Hut with a brown roof instead of a red roof? Know the difference? Same deal, Ft. Hood in Texas. Back then to drink beer or liquor at any bar or restaurant, needed to buy a "club card" that lasted for the month and generally cost about $3.00. Pizza Hut was no different. Pizza and beer seem to go together, so one day while at a Pizza Hut in Kileen, we all bought a club card for that month and bought beer and pizza. A week or so later while on the other side of Kileen and thirsty for beer and hungry for pizza, there was a Pizza Hut so we went in, ordered a pizza and then showed them our club card to get a pitcher of beer to go along with the pizza. "We don't sell beer at this Pizza Hut" we were told". Hmm? Pizza Hut, pizza and no beer? "Really?', we asked. That's when we were told "Not at this Pizza Hut, we have a brown roof instead of a red one". Hmm? Brown roof versus a red roof? We walked outside and looked, and sure enough, brown roof, no red roof and no beer. Might have been a Texas thing. I never ever saw another brown roof Pizza Hut and have never been refused beer with my pizza at another.
