Bill to outlaw metal testicles as ornaments

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — They’re proudly displayed by any self-respecting bull, but dangling big metal ones on the back end of a truck could be banned in Florida.

Metal replicas of bull testicles have become trendy bumper ornaments in some parts of the Sunshine State, but state Sen. Carey Baker is campaigning to ban the orbs.

Baker acknowledged that Florida lawmakers have more pressing issues, including huge revenue shortfalls, but said the state needs to draw a line on what’s obscene before more objectionable adornments appear.

Baker’s bill to fine drivers $60 for displaying the ornaments passed the Senate. It’s now up to the House, where it has only a slim chance.
