"State moves to ban fake testicles on vehicles" (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080425/od_nm/testicles_dc;_ylt=Aur.Ck3vasc97Lm8N8rOay6s0NUE)

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) - Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state.
Motorists would be fined $60 for displaying the novelty items, which are known by brand names like "Truck Nutz" and resemble the south end of a bull moving north.

I've seen those things, ususally driven by somewhat manly cowgirls who desparately wish they had a pair. Yech

They need to find something productive to occupy their time & help the citizens of Florida !

:lol: This is the same state where the voters have voted in a constitutional ammendment regulating the care of pregnant pigs. :lol: I suspect that this is supported by PETA, thinking of the pain caused to those poor bulls. ;)

Critics of the ban included the Senate Rules Chairman, Sen. Jim King, a Jacksonville Republican whose truck sported a pair until his wife protested.No relation. :lol:

Now I know why they went back to paper ballots.....nothing to do but count votes:lol:

[Greg Alsobrook]

:lol: ... some people have those around here too... i don't too much care for them myself...

We were driving behind someone one day who had them hanging from a truck and I said something like "that's so dumb" and my wife asked "what is that?" I told her and she didn't believe me until we pulled up closer at a traffic light. She was mortified! :lol:

Walt:lol: Ouch, I bet that hurt the poor truck. Did the sound coming from the truck drop an octave?

excuse me, it should go up an octave or two

[BubblePuppy]

Boy! Those Florida State Lawmakers sure have balls!
Or maybe not and they don't want anyone else to have more than they do.

Ok so someone had to say (write) it.:rolleyes:

No, she's now singing soprano in the local opera....

I think the ones that are just there to look like nuts are stupid, but I have something that looks similar hanging from my trailer hitch, It is a bag that holds the spare hitch balls that I use to pull trailers.

Well, at least that gives people with children a reasonable explanation when the little ones ask, "Gramma, what's on that truck?"

Other than poor taste, this seems to be the main problem with things like this. People think they're being cute or cool but don't seem to realize that their 'stuff' is out there where little kids can see it, too.

Since the people of Florida, like other states, keep voting for the same people in office, should anyone be surprised of this stupidity? Vote them all out.

Not wanting to get personal, but I guess you've never taken your kids to a zoo, or had a male pet, or seen a farm in operation or ...

It's a rhetorical question. No need to answer. I know what the answer is, I just don't agree with it! :soapbox:

Obviously, my ears are failing with time. :lol:

You're saying balls are a natural occurance on a truck? :confused: :p

Click the link I provided above there's a pic of em. :lol:

[spartanstew]

I think there'd be a pretty big revolt if they tried to pass that law here in Texas.

I see those things repeatedly, every day.

Thank you - that was my point. No problem explaining natural stuff - harder to explain why someone would do this.

That good raunchy stuffs will add ten more year of your life!!:D :lol:
