An old roommate moved from the Bay Area to Dallas years ago and on a nice day in the park he decided to lay down on the grass, as he would normally do in the Bay Area. Pretty soon cops arrived.

"normally do in the Bay Area" i.e. he was naked as the day he was born. Yeah, that's not gonna fly in Texas.

I’m from Australia, and while visiting NYC the cops got very aggressive because I walked on grass in a park!

They also said if I kept throwing a football in Central Park there would be trouble, and yelled at me for lying on a bench in a train station.

As a 22 year old kid I was a bit taker aback
