Albertans & Their Trailer Hitches

Since moving to Alberta, I've noticed some interesting "ornaments" on truck trailer hitches... Maybe it's because Alberta is a beef province... Maybe it's because Albertans are insecure... Maybe it's because Albertans are... well... different...

These ornaments are called Bull Balls... or Truck Nutz... or Your Nutz... or Truck Balls... or Big Boy Nuts... Yup, they are large testicle replicas that hang off of a trailer hitch... I'm not sure what the guys in the trucks are trying to communicate... Maybe that they are "big" boys? I'd be kind of curious to know what guys think of these things... They do swing very nicely from the trailer hitch... but they are a bit distracting for drivers who are following as they look and go "What the heck is that? Are those... testicles??"...

Yes... next will be replica breasts mounted on the grillwork of cars... I can see it now... Oncoming male drivers (heterosexuals of course!) will veer into oncoming traffic, overcome by the life-like reality of these bobbing breasts... Uh-huh...
