Oh goodness, just when I was set to go off on a rampage about crazy people who believe the Earth is not spinning or orbiting the sun, I see this story.
As the General Assembly debates global warming and the death penalty, Myers (R-Washington) has something else on his mind: the outsized plastic testicles that truckers dangle from the trailer hitches of their pickups.
To some truckers, they are manly expressions of rural chic. But Myers, who says his Western Maryland district is brimming with giant fakes on the roadways, calls them vulgar and immoral — and filed legislation this week to outlaw them.
I’d give you a link to photo in case you haven’t seen them, but I’m on my lunch hour. Somehow I think that Google search would be considered NSFW (not safe for work). 
Now I have to admit that the first time I saw “truck nuts” I was appalled. There was this enormous black pick-up truck, with what must have been 8-foot suspension, in front of me at the stop light with what appeared to be a black leather scrotum hanging off his tailgate. Not quite the kind of thing I like staring me in the face as I’m making my way to the mall. 
But, hey. C’est la vie. If that’s what some dude thinks is cool to hang off his car, so be it. Personally, I think it’s a little wacky, but then I’m not the type of girl he’s probably trying to impress.
Seriously. Can’t this guy think of something better to legislate? I know I’m in Texas and that’s a LONG way from Maryland, but surely Maryland, like Texas, has educational systems that need to be fixed, roads that need to be improved, and other mundane governmental things to do. Sheesh.
