RICHMOND, Va. - It's one thing to dangle fuzzy dice from a rear view mirror, but decorating a trailer hitch with a large pair of rubber testicles might be a bit much in Virginia.
State Del. Lionel Spruill introduced a bill Tuesday to ban displaying replicas of human genitalia on vehicles, calling it a safety issue because it could distract other drivers.
Under his measure, displaying the ornamentation on a motor vehicle would be a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $250.
He said the idea came from a constituent whose young daughter spotted an example of the trail hitch adornment and asked her father to explain it.
"'I didn't know what to tell her,'" Spruill said the constituent told him before Spruill vowed to stop such displays.
"I said, 'Sir, I'm going to be a laughingstock, but I'm going to do it,'" he said.
The Virginia General Assembly has some experience with offbeat bills. Three years ago, it drew widespread attention with an unsuccessful effort to outlaw baggy pants worn so low they expose underwear.
Spruill, 61, said the indignity of the "droopy drawers" debate wouldn't deter him. He said he won't hesitate to bring a set of $24.95 trailer testicles with him for a legislative show-and-tell.
"I'm going to do it," Spruill told a handful of reporters after Tuesday's House session adjourned. "I'm going to bring them out here and show them to you till they tell me to stop."
Cold weather ones...
And manboobs on the grille
I was drinkin' one night at the bar...
There was these two nice ladies...
Closin' time we went up to my place...
Things got kinda hazy...
Woke up in the mornin' in the bathtub...
It was fulla ice...
The ladies was gone...
And so were THEY.
Now my danglers
is danglin'
From some yeller pickup.
"Don't look, Ethyl!"
There is no difference between dice and a "sack". Anthing that isn't serving a decorative purpose (humorous or otherwise) is "distracting". As are bumper stickers (which you may try to read while moving at a high rate of speed).
Here in Houston the police unions always endorse the Democrat. “Socially liberal” stickers would do you better than one that says “I support the right to keep and bear arms”. The scandal ridden RINO DA here in Houston DID NOT support that right even when the state legislature made it clear that you do not need a concealed carry permit to transport a gun in your car (he was still going to prosecute citizens as felons for that non-criminal “offense”).
Are these people daft?
even here in Hoosierland, I've only seen a few.
The one that REALLY is a must have.... is THIS!
... or vanity license plates. Oooops! Wait a minute! The state makes money off of those, don’t they?
"'I didn't know what to tell her,'" Spruill said the constituent told him before Spruill vowed to stop such displays.
Well you see, dear. It is like this. That is a trailer hitch. When a man gets to a certain point in his life and wants to blow off some steam on the weekends, he'll spend money on a trailer for a boat, a motorcycle, or other recreational vehicle...
I used to see a tennis ball cut open and hooked over the trailer hitch of vehicles. I never thought about asking my dad "why" people did that. I still don't know.
Does this mean I can still hang a noose from my Hitch?
Good. They are crude and obscene.
Anyone stupid enough to put something like this on their truck needs to be exposed to the public so steps can be taken to limit the damage they might potentially do when one of their two neurons fails to fire.
Like Bill Engvall says, “Here’s you sign.”
Great. Vote Hillary and she will put ‘em in the Lockbox.
And learn to spell!
What’s next? All dogs wear underwear?
They'll start with just the Great Danes.
One of my co-workers is upset. Someone emasculated his truck.:-D
