LOL!! Excerpt:

"..Or go to Allthenutz.com, the Web site that claims to "satisfy the needs of the nutless." There, patriots can buy models that are Proudly Made in the U.S.A.

Not to be outdone, Bullsballs.com claims to be "The Foremost Truck Balls Company in the World!" That's a bold statement in the high-stakes world of synthetic bull testicle salesmen, but then, to paraphrase David Mamet, "It takes brass balls to sell brass balls." (Apologies to Alec Baldwin.) Yournutz.com even sells POW-MIA sets, on which they have "respectfully placed the black ribbon," and you can also purchase a pink breast-cancer-awareness set. Pick up a pair and they'll donate $10 for research. I could go on listing places to buy these things, but I'm trying to hang on to the last shred of dignity I have left after writing this story.."

Thanks, C!

Rude and offensive. Probably illegal in some states such as California.

It is illegal there to have a sign on your car that can make other drivers angry or has offensive words.

Roads are public property and driving on them is a privalege, not a right.

Some states have tried to make them illegal, but none seems to have succeeded so far (even Virginia).

The things people will do to their vee-hick-les.... but I bet it will start being a problem as soon as the first person blames them for distracting them from driving and making them swerve into traffic or into the crash barriers.

pdq... I would think that any sign or decoration of any type would be a distraction and, therefore, a safety issue. I move that all vehicles are painted only flat black and have no such things as chrome nor signs nor adornments of any kind. Only then will the roadways be safe for our children.

I think you will find that if there is a pair of balls at the back, there will be a prick in the front!

gnu...in case you are serious about debating this subject, here is a fact. Some states, such as California, have laws that prohibit racially offensive bumper stickers and those intended to cause another driver to become angry. It is also possible for a car's paint job to be illegal, as one that has graphic paintings of genitals or violence. The cop can write a ticket and you have the right to go to court and appeal.

Balls ... Bulls ,,,Bills have been introduced in at least three state legislatures to ban the cited decorations, due to their evil influence on children who might see them accidentally.

So far as I've seen, none have passed, although I believe it was Georgia where it came very close the second time it was proposed there.

These have been around for a few years. They have fallen off, perhaps one reason for the current drop in numbers of pickups.

lemme see, now...it's ok to see them ON bulls, but purple imitations on trucks might corrupt the youth?

I remember when a Bull Durham sack in a shirt pocket was the last word as a statement of virility.

Long gone, long gone.

Q -

You could get by without the sack if you had the string and the little tag to hang out of the shirt pocket to just 'tend you had some.

(Unless someone asked for a "borrysum.")

Also available in Kangaroo.......Gave them to my nephew to poke fun at his Dodge turbo diesel testosterone pick-up. He loves them of course......very popular here in the great unwashed midwest.

But as Q says, each generation has some silly-ass idea of virility. When I was 23 or 24 I pulled into a pizza joint parking lot driving a '68 Shelby convertible. I was wearing faded jeans, a cowboy hat, and a white t-shirt with Hooker Headers emblazoned of the front with a pack of Camels rolled in the sleeve. As I slid up and over the door, some old guy (about 60 aka my current age) heading for his car says with a grin, "Son, you're an American original."

Yep......Every generation has their own thing.......Bring on the balls!!!!
