Eleven Commandments. Louisiana's law mandates a specific text. Not from Exodus, or Deuteronomy, but from the Fraternal Order of Eagles. They used a KJV-sounding pastiche adapted from the Bible and paraphrased by a Minnesota juvenile court judge in the 1950s. It's not the Bible. It's the Eagles.

Nah, that is exactly how this shit works down here. There's been a deadlock on food vending for 20 years because the exclusive contract belonged to a family who got too busy being politicians with their hot dog money to run a food cart monopoly.

*food vending in the French Quarter, sorry, I rewrote this too many times.
