"I'm not going to say they had a bad odor to them, but they were kind of musty. I thought if we put in a fragrance, people would go over and smell the balls, touch the balls, and read our name on the balls."

"Maybe if they made one that smells like crawfish."

I hope he meant the spicy smell of a cooked crawfish, and not raw. That would really stink.

Testicles face snip

A controversial Virginia lawmaker is trying to introduce new legislation to ban rubber testicles from being fitted to the back of trucks.



Lionel Spruill, known for his failed attempt in 2005 to ban baggy pants, says the motivation for his latest idea came from a constituent.

The man complained that he had been left speechless when his six-year-old daughter spotted a pair and asked him what they were.

Mr Spruill agreed to act: "I said, 'Sir, I'm going to be the laughing stock, but I'm going to do it'," he told the Virginian-Pilot.

Truck drivers who sport fake testicles on the back of their vehicles would risk a $250 fine under his proposal.

"They're offensive to some folks," said Mr Spruill, a Chesapeake Democrat. "It's OK to express yourself, but citizens have the right not to be subjected to something vulgar."

Spruill said he became concerned when he learned that the truck accessories had got larger as their popularity had increased.

"How big are they going to go?" he said. "When will it stop?"

But John Saller, owner of bullsballs.com, laughed off Mr Spruill's campaign. He said he sold several hundred thousand last year, ranging in size from two-and-a-half to 10 inches.

"It's a novelty. It's funny. It doesn't have anything to do with being macho," he insisted.

Wanting to ban rubber testacles is certainly from the mind of a conservative fundamentalist control freak rather than anything "lilberal".

Mark, it's a Virginia Democratic legistlator that's trying to ban them from VA that got that article going.

I guess I'd have to classify that as tacky. There are plenty of tacky t-shirts out there, but that doesn't mean they should be banned. I remember having a sex wax surf board was t-shirt in high school and thinking it was the height of cool.

Thats a bit of a rhetorical question isn't it rosey?

tacky, yes - should be banned? nah

as far as kids go - maybe if they see a few tacky/tasteless things, they might be less inclined to be such as they struggle through young adulthood.

I think the real irony out of the whole thing is the guys that put testicles on their trucks are also the same one's that give that truck a girls name.

Dayhiker, Virginia Democrats are not usually "liberal".

Tacky yes.............ban them?
That's laughable.

I didn't say they were liberal or that it should be banned. I was giving you background on the C&P text. The whole article gives that info.

This is the same guy who wanted to ban baggy pants.

His notion that the rubber balls would distract other drivers is pretty funny.

My bad, taht bit of text does give some info. I saw it was a partial C&P and ASSUMMED it didn't have it all.

Is this really some kind of serious problem? I think I've seen those on a truck like once, at most...can't really remember.

It would be a hoot to rig them to lightly drag.

Now, that could distract other drivers to the point of laughing and losing control.

Oh, the humanity!

maybe the guys don't ahve any of their own? so they have to buy a big truck and put them on?

egg-zactly.

They should be metallic and hang low enough to throw off sparks from the highway now and then.

I'm thinking if you could inflate them to a desired size, that could have a really excellent effect.

Coyote nailed it.

But you forgot to add that they probably also have a pistole' to substitute for their lack there of.

I live in central Virginia, and drive on Virginia highways every day. But I have never seen these.

Stopping people from hanging these err..balls from their trucks is stupid. You can't legislate bad taste.

So where do you suppose I could buy some?

Should we legislate that all animals should be castrated as well, so the panty waist, limp wristed dad wouldn't have to explain to his daughter what those things hanging down from rover are?

Hey Hyway, have you ever eaten rocky mountain oysters? They are actually pretty good, but you gotta dip them in ranch dressing. Yummers!

I think the Canadians use peanut butter which is kind of weird.

So if I use REAL ones, the law doesn't apply?

There are a few candidates for donation I can think of....
