Virginian Bumper Tickler

Them ballsy folks in Virginia ... 

While most would hang fuzzy dices or neon skull keychains or miniature mobile disco balls from the rear view mirror, Virginians take the rear much, much lower.  As low as their truck's trailer hitch apparently.

State lawmaker Lionel Spruill has taken a one-man crusade to liberate some balls.

On 15 Jan 2008, he introduced a bill banning the blatant display of rubber replicas of male genitalia on vehicles.   Obviously concerned with the illegal riding without licence by these slippery buggers, he wisely concluded that these rubbery replicas would also cause a safety hazard with their distracting visage.

Although not a hanging offense, the maximum fine is still a hefty, well-rounded $250 which is probably two decimal points more expensive than the price of the swinging ornaments.

Mr Spruill added that he had been unaware of this danger dangling for so long on Virginian roads until it was spotted by his young daughter, leaving him embarrassed and speechless.

I say Out, out with those whatchamabobbits!  No hanging around for ball-less wonders or hanger-ons!
