PIERRE, S.D. — South Dakota officials have canceled a public safety campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of jerking the steering wheel on icy roads, saying it's too risque.

The Department of Public Safety has pulled the "Don't Jerk and Drive" ads, which played on the double-meaning of the word "jerk."

Q.Why do blondes prefer cars with tilt steering wheels?
A.More headroom.

Fits right with the story - both use double entendre...

I’m blushing, but laughing, Mr. Arrows. I have lost my prim and proper demeanor.

I must compliment you for a perfect graphic to go with this thread.

You DEVIL, you! ;-)

In Fargo, ND I saw a young man driving quite erratically up the cloverleaf onramp to merge where I was driving.

Then her head popped up.

“Might be interesting to find out whose bright idea this campaign was.”

Forget the bright idea. Who signed off on this?

LOL, too silly!

I have no idea who that is, I just think the posture and his expression are priceless.

It appears they have handled this problem properly.

If there were going to be fines for this, the state would be making money hand over fist.

As with Karl Rove, the horns and tail are retractable.

[Slings and Arrows]

Indeed.

[Slings and Arrows]

If there were fines for THAT, civil servants would be the biggest offenders.

adjustable seats pre-dated the movable steering wheel.

Those were the days

Ah... So.

People have asked about the [Great Northern Jerk-off] T-shirts, which Club 45 was selling them for $10 $20 (they went up). Jen at the bar tells me that readers who want to order the shirt can email her at club45conover@yahoo.com. (FYI: The back of the shirt says, “If You Jerk It, They Will Come.”)
