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.

 

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, which are known by brand names like "Truck Nutz" and resemble the south end of a bull moving north.

 

The Florida Senate voted last week to add the measure to a broader transportation bill, but it is not included in the House version.

 

In a spirited debate laced with double entendre, Senate lawmakers questioned whether the state should curtail freedom of expression in vehicle accessories.

 

Critics of the ban included the Senate Rules Chairman, Sen. Jim King, a Jacksonville Republican whose truck sported a pair until his wife protested.

 

The bill's sponsor doubted it would succeed.

 

"It's probably not going to make it through the process," Baker said on Thursday. "It won't be much of story in a few days."

 

They are so silly and juvenile, but to outlaw them

 

 

 

For the culturally underprivileged

I hate those things with a passion, but what a waste to work on legislation to ban them.

 

I do have a huge pair of them things hanging off of my Mac. Now that is cool.

 

You just know this all had to have started with a Texan and real bull testicles some time ago.

 

Crazy Texans.

PCs come with their own . . .

PCs come with their own . . .

...until Microsoft decides to stop supporting them and force you to upgrade to Hanging Balls v2.0

Then Mac comes out with HB3 which are so mesmerizing the drivers are hypnotized into thinking their truck is now perfect, runs forever without any maintenance, has the best features, and only cool people can drive it.

The funniest part of that whole thing was the Senator-by-day/Gun Shop owner-by-night and the Senate Chairman who actually had bulls' testicles on his ride.

 

Oh Florida.
