Florida Senate’s ban on bull testicles on pickups snipped from bill

The Florida Senate tried to make it illegal to attach fake bull testicles to trailer hitches on pickup trucks.

It passed a transportation bill sponsored by state Sen. Cary Baker, R-Eustis, that would have imposed a $60 fine on motorists who attached artificial “reproductive glands” to their vehicles.

Sen. Jim King, R-Jacksonville, opposed the bill. He said fake bull testicles are simply “an expression of truckliness” and noted that he displayed a pair of them on his own “all pimped out” vehicle until his wife made him remove them.

King also warned that the state would have to hire “bumper police.”

However, the Senate bill couldn’t be reconciled with a House version until the anti-testicle clause was snipped from the legislation.
