Watch what you put on trailer hitches

[Ban Hammer 13,340]

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."

I don't know if it should be against the law or not, but it definitely should be against good taste.

Just another way for guys with "Tiny Willy Complex" to try to overcompensate.

Personally, I find them pretty repulsive. I've seen 3 or 4 trucks around here with their bollocks on display....

Outlawed? No, we need ways to identify those with inadequacy issues.

As to the child, tell her the truth for goodness sake. If more people would quit pansying around the whole sex issue, there would be less chance of people growing up with all these repression/perversion issues. The truth doesn't hurt.
