If your pick-up truck has fake testicles hanging from the trailer hitch, you better stay out of Maryland
At least if my state delegate gets his bill passed. This from the local Hagerstown Herald-Mail:
ANNAPOLIS - Washington County Sheriff's deputy Matthew Bragunier figures that he sees, at least once a day, fake bull genitals flopping from the hitches of pickup trucks.
They're only a toy, but they're also unpleasant to look at, said Bragunier, worried what his 2-year-old girl might think someday.
"My daughter's going to see this," he said. "She's going to ask what this is. I don't want to be put in that spot. I don't think I ever want to be in that spot."
Del. LeRoy E. Myers Jr., R-Washington/Allegany, agreed.
This week, he filed a bill for Maryland to ban the toys and others like them.
The bill prohibits any "model, sign, sticker or other item" that shows uncovered human or animal genitals, as well as human buttocks or female breasts, from motor vehicles.
I too saw a pickup truck with fake bull genitals flopping from a trailer hitch. Once.
I thought it was stupid. I didn't think a special law needed to be passed. What's next? What part of the redneck culture will be regulated with a special Maryland law? Rebel flags? Dale Earnhardt tribute decals? Worn out 2000 Bush/Cheney stickers? If you take away a redneck's right to hang fake bull genitals from his trailer hitch, what's next?
I just think it's funny that the anti-fake bull testicle bill was sponsored by a guy named "LEROY".

More wasted time in government. People don’t have health care, it is hard to earn a living wage, we are being taxed to death to support a war on two fronts, gas prices are going back up, electricy prices are going up and this guy wants to waste time passing a law banning a stupid toy! Based on the language of the bill and its inclusion of “female breasts” does that mean that the iconic mud flaps girl will be illegal as well?
The toys themselves are stupid. I know I wouldn’t want a bull sack hanging from any trailer hitch I had, but hey, to each their own, but to waste time passing a law so he doesn’t have to explain to his daughter that the guy in front of him is just an idiot (not for displaying it mind you, but rather for wasting the money on it) and the thing hanging there is just a stupid toy is criminal.
I guess I will never understand this country’s aversion and fear of all things sexual and our fear that simple 4 letter words can destroy us. We all got to see Janet’s boob on TV and from the way people yelled and screamed you would have thought it was the end of the world. Bono said a bad word on some awards show and again the world was going to end! Way too uptight! My daughter saw that halftime show and when the boob incident happened and saw “The Boob” and she didn’t die nor is she scarred for life.
You wanna put a ball sack on the hitch of your car? Go ahead, I support your right to do it, but then I also support my right to call you a dumb ass!
OK, this sorta drives me crazy… if the bulls balls are offensive to him, and they shouldn’t be shown, all of those crosses hanging from mirrors, the rainbow strip that is placed on the back of cars, and lets not forget the best, those rebel flags that are posted just about anywhere they can put them, all of those need to go aswell… but somehow… I think we start crossing the line of our rights and freedoms..
This dude needs a life… those kids are gonna grow up and see those types of things sooner or later. We used to have a set of those balls hanging from the back of our race car, a little boy walked by and pointed them out to his father, asked his father what they were, and he said to him “when your old enough, you’ll know” and the kid didn’t think twice…
I have a real set of testicles on the back of my truck. Where do I stand in all of this?
I don’t really understand the message one is trying to convey when one hangs fake bull testicles from the back of a truck. I don’t get it.
I once put a Kerry bumper sticker on the back of my car. The message I was trying to convey was that I wanted people to vote for the guy who wasn’t George Bush. It didn’t last long. Somebody peeled it off after a couple of days.
Next thing you know, Leroy and his bunch from Maryland will be demanding that we castrate all male animals as well because some lazy wanna-be parent is scared to address the issue when their kid asks “Dad, what’s that hanging between that animal’s legs?”
Folks, the nuts are a joke. They are an attention getter. And folks hang them to get a laugh. Have you noticed that in the past 30 years, these do-gooders have turned our country upside down? I say keep the illegals and load the do-gooders up on buses and ship them across the border. At least the majority of the illegals are good hard working people who don’t constantly “WHINE” about EVERYTHING…. whaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Anyone that voted for Kerry has no balls so they would not understand…
What happen to “free country”.
This should not have ofended him?I am going to buy a realistic pussy and ass from my local porno store and mount that clit facing all the women of my city on my piece of shit lancer(cause its a weak car)and see just how many women get ofended when thier children ask-Mommy whats that?
Are you for real? Seriously, I am a 25 year old female and I honestly don’t mind seeing them on the back of trucks. I am also a truck kinda girl. I know what is right and what is wrong, it’s not like they are a real pair hanging back there. There also is not that many vehicles driving around with them. I bet you if a celebrity did it, it would be o.k. I am a Marine Veteran, and I have a lot of male friends that have them on the back of their trucks. At least it’s majority males. They are proud of their man hood. Also, you know what kills me, people wanna complain about the balls, how about the sick, ungrateful, non-patriotic Americans that don’t support the troops and are free to protest about it and are so selfish and care only about themselves, that they are so blind to see that we fight to defend America and all our freedoms. We fight for those to freely be themselves and express themselves. I say poo on them and leave the balls alone. You wanna comlain, how about Global Warming, ABORTION, the war in IRAQ, the ECONOMY. Seriously, grow up.
I bet you are Heather B. I bet you are.
I, too, know many veterans who fought overseas so that we could hang truck balls off our trucks. Rick, I can’t believe how unpatriotic you are. God bless the USA and truck balls.
I am a veteran that fought overseas. Granted, the fights took place in bars, I was usually drunk, and I was fighting fellow G.I.’s. I don’t ever remember fighting over rubber truck balls. Now that I think about it, I don’t remember what any of the fights were over.
God Bless America!
“Also, you know what kills me, people wanna complain about the balls, how about the sick, ungrateful, non-patriotic Americans that don’t support the troops and are free to protest about it and are so selfish and care only about themselves, that they are so blind to see that we fight to defend America and all our freedoms”
I wasn’t going to say anything about this part of your statement, Heather B, but I can’t. Wasn’t one of the reasons you joined the military to protect our freedoms, like protesting about stuff?
Seriously, I am truly grateful for your service to our country and the thousands of other Americans who have done (and are currently doing) the same thing. I know it must be hard to sacrifice several years of one’s life in service to the country (or sacrifice more than just time, in many cases) in the name of an unpopular war. But please keep patriotism and personal decisions like abortion separate.
And truck balls. I mean come on, how can you invoke patriotism and military service in your defense of TRUCK BALLS?
Haha i have a set of these fake balls on my truck, its just for shits and giggles really, shoes that the truck i have has “balls” thats about it. its just for fun, a law passed is rediculouse, sure im a redneck, and a girl, but if i want y ruck to have nuts hes gonna have them :]
people really? those “balls” aren’t even that noticeable….. why is it just because someone doesn’t like something it’s got to be ruined for everyone else? you don’t like cars w/ balls? don’t put them on yours!
I saw a pair (BALLS) hanging from a pick-up truck in North Carolina this past weekend, I nearly pissed myself laughing so hard. I have never seen them before on a truck hitch. I do not see them as something vulgar or dirty……………..people better get a life and laugh at the funny things they see and do.
Life is full of problems and sadness……………..LAUGH AND LIVE !!!!
