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."
Geller suggested this ban might be followed by prohibiting silhouettes of nude women on truck mud flaps.
"We're basically going to have the bumper police," King said.
"All their concerns are legitimate," Baker said of the critics. "And I do have more important things to do this session. But I think this is important, too."
The transportation bill was debated Thursday, and a vote is expected next week. The House version, however, doesn't include the prohibition.

Our Republicans hard at work. lol.
I’m sorry officer, I ran over a dog that darted out in front of me a few miles back. Those must be his neuticles.
“..Geller suggested this ban might be followed by prohibiting silhouettes of nude women on truck mud flaps...”
Dagnabit!! That’s where I draw the line.
$60 fine for truk nutz? Isn’t that a kick in the sack!
Stupid legislators. Better when they are not in session.
We need to seize all the Truck Nutz and send them to John McCain and the GOP members of the House and Senate.
So Truck Nutz is bad, but several stickers of Calvin pissing on a Ford or Chevy logo, or other more offensive bumper stickers is ok?
LOL The guy who works across the street from us has 2 nuts for about a 2-1/2” thread hanging off the back of his hitch, been there for years.
I was kind of embarrassed when our secretary asked what they were used for a few years back...
Why a new thread when the old threads are still hanging there?
If there was only a nuclear war, at least Tallahassee might get taken out.
They’re a disgusting display. I don’t want my girls seein’ them. The drivers that hang them on their trucks are no better than “wand-wavers.”
I can think of some DemocRATS who could use ‘em.
THERE’S ANOTHER THREAD?.....
Make them out of brass and they would make a damn fine door knocker for that single wide.
Hanging Chads or Hanging Nads?
Will Crist have the ballz to sign it?..................
