I have to show this to my husband so we can place a bet on how long before the guy across the street gets them on his truck. ---

I saw these on a truck one afternoon…I spent about ten minutes laughing my ass off. 😃 I always thought that men considered vehicles to be feminine…or is that just ships and sports cars? Why are trucks different? I’m so confused. If my husband got a set of testicles for his truck, and I got an udder for my car, does that mean that we could raise our own baby vehicles? And what would they be? Cars? Trucks? SUV’s? ---

After only seeing these through websites the Dope has directed me to, I finally saw a set on a car around here. I forgot to check the license plate, though…they could have just been passing through… ---

Pursuant to what somebody upthread suggested, let’s all forward the following to as many people as possible: > [@](#): > > I learned something from my pastor the other day that shocked and horrified me. He said those plastic “testicles” people buy at Auto Zone are actually a secret signal in the “gay” community! He said one of his friends who preaches in Georgia told him that one of his flock had some on his truck - his brother-in-law gave them to him for a gag - and he was FOLLOWED HOME by a “homosexual” and “propositioned” in his own driveway! He said he’s heard stories of similar things happening in other places. Please, if your husband, brother, son, nephew, or neighbor has these on his truck, warn him to take them off IMMEDIATELY! Please forward this to everyone you know and God will smile on you. Who’s up for it? ---
