"paraphernalia" is illegal, at least in Southern Indiana.

We live and learn!! And here was me thinking that in the Good Old Days of
Patriarchy, "Paraphernalia" ( which is Greek for "beside the bed" isn't it
?) was a woman's personal property - like her distaff - which neither her
husband nor (more importantly) her husband's creditors could take away from
her!

"I care not if you bridge the sea,
Or ride secure the cruel sky,
Or build consummate palaces,
Of metal or of masonry;
But have you wine and music still,
And statues, and a bright-eyed love,
And foolish thoughts of good and ill,
And prayers to them who sit above ?"
James Elroy Flecker: "To a poet a thousand years hence." (1915)
