Florida Senate amendment takes on 'Truck Nutz'

By Betty Parker, floridacapitalnews.com

The Florida Senate on Thursday passed an amendment to impose a $60 fine on Truck Nutz, one brand name for the novelty item on vehicle trailer hitches that resemble the dangling southern end of a northbound bull.

The proposal would make displaying bull genitalia reproductions on a vehicle subject to a $60 fine, moving violations and points against a driver license. The penalties were proposed by Sen. Carey Baker, R-Eustis.

Sen. Jim King, R-Jacksonville, said he had a set on one of his vehicles, which he described as "all pimped out." They are no more than "an expression of truckliness," he said, although he'd acceded to his wife's request to take them off.

"I find it shocking we'd tell people with metallic testicles on their bumpers that this is a violation," said Sen. Steve Geller, D-Hallandale. "There's got to be better things for us to spend time debating."

I mean, you have to have some means of expressing yourself don't you?

:evilgrin:

:rofl:

that would govern porno painted on the side of a van, the type of porno that reduces women to a few body parts.

Personally, I'm in favor of these stupid things. They're an early warning system that shouts "I'm an asshole!" to everybody who sees them, no Confederate flag flapping from the antenna needed.

I've only seen these things once and that was enough. Still can't figure out what they're supposed say about the driver besides, "I'm a first class idiot".

the south!

last week. My thoughts - in order:

1) Ew, gross (one set was pink)
2) What kind of an asshole does it take to hang his (or her - one driver was a female) balls from their trailer hitch?
3) Probably voted for *

BTW, one had the dixie flag emblazoned across his back window.

BTW, you mention Elkton. I've never been there, but my dad was a student pastor in the fifties at a church in Elkton!

:hi:

We got lots of trees with nuts.
Florida has more chambers with nuts.

First, let's hide the Florida nuts.
We need a world free of THESE nuts! :rofl:

For this one: "...the dangling southern end of a northbound bull." :rofl:

What's next, gents? Freedom fries?
