Va. considers ban on genitalia displays

You gotta love a country where guns are available for everyone because
"guns don't kill, people do" but which is afraid of breasts, testicles
or penis...
I guess "genitalia kills"...

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."

What a load of balls! They won't do anything about cell-phone
distractions, but anyone who displays testicles will get the shaft?!

I say keep the "replica" balls (Spruill manages to brag about how big
his balls are here) and just put a big pair of white briefs over them
with "S P R U I L L" stenciled on the waistband.

Someone in my town has an SUV with "ACHING NUTS" printed across the side
window, and a pair of testicles on the trailer hitch. Personally, I think
it's really stupid, but hardly a "safety issue."
