Stupid State Laws - Texas

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Texas

"It is illegal to sell one's eye."

Why not?  It's your eye, you should be able to do whatever you want with it even if it involves tearing it out of your own head to achieve that goal.  Plus, why is this even illegal?  Is there a black market for eyeballs out there that common people don't know about?  And if there is, what would you do with an eyeball?  I guess there might be people out there who need an eye transplant, but do eye transplants even exist?  I looked it up and it turns out that no, you cannot transplant an entire eyeball, only the cornea.  I would have loved to have been in the room when this law was brought up to the local lawmakers just to see how seriously such the issue was taken.  Seriously, Texas, what in the hell is this law all about?

"Is this your eyeball you are selling me?"
"It sure is."
"Busted!  This is an eyeball selling sting, you are under arrest, sucker!"
