Republican Effort Afoot to Outlaw Testicles
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.
...
His bill would prohibit motorists from displaying anything resembling or depicting "anatomically correct" or "less than completely and opaquely covered" human or animal genitals, human buttocks or female breasts. The offense would carry a penalty.

A hunter could still throw a freshly killed and uncovered deer in the back of his pickup, though, because the deer's body parts would be real, Myers said.
...
Myers's fellow lawmakers seemed bemused. "Hmmm. Is this what the framers had in mind?" Del. Tom Hucker (D-Montgomery) asked jokingly.

1. Those are pretty foul to look at.
Would I make a law penalizing it? no

2. So are they going to prohibit kids from going to the zoo?
Lots of animal genitalia on display for all to see. Jee-zus. People in the rest of the world have to be laughing their asses off at this puritanically silly country.

3. Hmmm-
Since pooplicans are such dicks, does this mean they, too, would be outlawed?

Maybe not such a bad idea, after all.

Perhaps, if the overwhelming rush of stupid laws outrages enough people, a bunch of existing laws, including most of the "war on drugs" laws, would become incidental casualties.

4. They already outlawed brains among their faithful members
and from the chickenhawks we see its apparent that they've already outlawed testicles on their membership as well. This is purely symbolic of their party.

7. Frankly, I don't believe they gave the balls
to pass this law...
