The war against replica bull balls is expanding.
Senators in the Sunshine State have followed the lead of Maryland and Virginia and “voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state.“
Republican Sen. Cary Baker, a gun shop owner from Eustis, Florida, called the adornments offensive and proposed the ban. Motorists would be fined $60 for displaying the novelty items.
This is getting serious folks. Maybe we ought to consider an amendment to the constitution. I am tempted to put a trailer hitch on my 2000 Volvo S40 just so I can piss someone off. I do see them periodically up here on the wrong side of the Mason Dixon and I just think they’re funny.
I think the people at YourNutz.com and other vendors should really make a campaign contribution to Sen. Baker et al., as a way of saying thank you for the free PR.

This is the second place I’ve read about this. Please tell me. Why do people want fake bull’s balls on their trailer hitches? I mean…I really want to understand.

There’s an old expression from the South that sheds some light on the topic,”[pronoun] could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.” My reading of this product suggests a profound insecurity about some other set of testicles. Personally, I’m more interested in the psychological implications of banning the damn things. One group needs to flaunt it and the other is terrified of it. Guys, it’s really about time y’all came out of that closet.
What I think would be really cool would be a Vespa sporting a set of these…and driven by a woman. It would be like a trophy. Did you ever see Robert Altman’s “The Player”? There’s a scene in which Whoopie Goldberg, playing a police detective, thoroughly unnerves a male suspect by nonchalantly twirling a tampon while she questions him.

Well, thank you for the explanation. I’m not sure I really understand yet, but I guess FL will work this one out. Up north we’ll be watching to see if we can start purchasing fake bull’s balls for our vehicles.

Another good example of our representatives in Tallahassee wasting time and money at taxpayers expenses.
It is obvious that Republican Sen. Cary Baker is full time bored in his post. I think that I’ll hung a banner with an ass drawn on it with his face on my truck tailgate.
