“It comes to a point where there are certain things you just can’t do. And putting testicles on the back of a truck is just too much. So I am trying to stop it.”
– Marlyand Virginia Del. Lionell Spruill, who has intruduced a bill aimed at the popular “Truck Nuts” accessory. Spruill’s bill would ban “anything on a car or truck that looked like human genitalia.”
MORE: One reader emails to wonder if Spruill’s bill wouldn’t ban some car models entirely.
No Just Maryland

You know that this assemblyman’s wife was driving home from the gormet grocery store in her lexus suv and saw Bubbas testies. She henpecked her husband and he brought up legislation. Where is Bob Barker when you need him??????
See, here’s the thing… If we outlaw stuff like this, how can we tell which degenerates shouldn’t be allowed to date our daughters?
You know Radley you are awesome, no question about it. You are almost always right about nanny-state issues. You are really tuned in and are sharp. But, I’d like to see you do some research on female legislators! I don’t believe one can have a discusion about the NannySTATE without bringing up the rise in female legislators across this country. It is a dangerous subject, but it is a fact that these babes are out of control.
Actually, Spruill is from Virginia, not Maryland. He’s the same guy who sponsored the ‘droopy-pants’ legislation in that state a few years back.

“You know that this assemblyman’s wife was driving home from the gormet grocery store in her lexus suv and saw Bubbas testies. She henpecked her husband and he brought up legislation.”
Now, was he henpecked because she is a prude or because her husband is ‘ill-equipped’ and she made him feel embarrassed?
BTW, those of in Texas know that these are advertised as bull scrotums, not human.
Someone save Pat Lynch from “TEH WIMMINS”! Despite the fact that a MAN proposed the ban on truck testicles and MEN grossly outnumber women in State legislatures (women comprise only 23.4% of state legislators across the country – a number which has only slightly risen in the past 10 years: http://www.ncsl.org/programs/wln/WomenInOffice2007.htm), somehow he has become convinced that it is TEH WIMMINS who are the nefarious brains behind the “nanny” (men can’t be nannies, right?) state. You know, before the phrase “NannyState” became so popular, there was another word for that kind of State activity: Paternalism.

Been there, ate that, with a huge pitcher of Moose Drool beer.
Damn fine eating.
Isn’t it supposed to be Virginia?
So, Virginia State Del. Lionel Spruill introduces the bill in VA and says it’s due to a safety issue as the nuts could distract other drivers. Then we go on to read that “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.”
So he’s doing it for the children?
The problem is that people in this country believe they have a right not to be offended. Well, to all these people out there, screw you!
Y’know, I hate those stupid things with a passion. But now I’m tempted to buy a set. Damn you, Rep. Spruill!
In proportion to a vehicle, those things are pretty tiny.
Great, your truck has nuts! Really, really small nuts.
What’s he going to do about this?

If Truck nuts are banned the terrorists win…
I saw some of these on a truck once with bad suspension. The whole bottom 1/3 of the nuts were completely chafed off from hitting the road so often. It was mildly disturbing to look at.
Did he ever see the grille on an Edsel? Especially following a ’59 Cadillac (with the cigar-shaped tail lights)?
JJH2 – I love women, I really do. But there is something in many women’s genetic makeup (not all), that makes it hard for them to live and let live. Many want to fix what they see are wrong with men. Tune into the cable access station sometime and watch a city council meeting or state legislature. You get some ironbox on there and she’s way past just trying to change someone. She’s looking for blood. It happens in the workplace also. You get members of the feminine persuasion that hen-peck their husband all the time, and they come to work and try to henpeck their male co-workers. It’s quite common and can be tricky to navigate, that is if you still have a pair and don’t feel like putting up with it.
My wife always says that she would rather work for a man than a woman…I guess she’s sexist too.
These scrotoid hitch appliances are prohibited on Francis E Warren Air Force Base. Probably a number of other military installations as well.
