Florida lawmakers consider bill banning ornamental testicles

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - They're proudly displayed by any self-respecting bull, but dangling big metal ones on the back end of a truck could be banned in Florida.

Metal replicas of bull testicles have become trendy bumper ornaments in some parts of the Sunshine State, but state Senator Carey Baker is campaigning to ban the orbs.

Baker acknowledged that Florida lawmakers have more pressing issues, including huge revenue shortfalls, but said the state needs to draw a line on what's obscene before more objectionable adornments appear.

State Senator Steve Geller argued against Baker's bill.

He says he finds it shocking that the state should be telling people that have the metallic bull testicles that they're now going to have demerit points on their licenses for it.

Geller was in the minority. Baker's bill would fine drivers $60 for displaying the ornaments.

WHEN USING THE HITCH HANGER, IT IS BEST TO USE A THREADLOCKER ADHESIVE, PEOPLE WILL STEAL YOUR BALLS.

Good idea, you wouldn't want to be ball-less hehe

Seriously, I have never seen testicle ornaments, in Canada.
And I sure hope I don't either.

But be honest don't they have moose antlers for the trucks up there ? -or- are those just antlers for real moose that get stuck in the grille?

A lot of people back home had truck nuts. They are pretty tacky, but really got me was when people put them on there cars. They're called truck nuts for a reason, lol.

Btw, don't the Senators or whoever is pushing this have anything better to do with Floridas tax payer money???

when I was in Calgary, I saw a big ol Cadillac with a huge set of steer horns, on the grill.
Maybe the poor bull's testicles helped create the mold for the ornamental ones.
