Your grandmother spent many years in the clerk's office of the Florida House of Representatives. She had a front row seat for all the foolishness to come to the floor. She always said a certain amount of levity was necessary to break the tension--the more ridiculous the better. Of course, those earlier sessions passed some pretty important legislation, too, and all Floridian's lives were the better for it. That doesn't really seem to be the case anymore. Recent senators and representatives have had a narrow view of the well-being of all the citizens of this once great state. Grandma would be scandalized.

Only in Florida.
However! It might cause an accident, because the other drivers are laughing and lose control of their vehicle.
Ummm, why not take on poverty? Or abused children?
These guys need to get a life. Thanks, for a good laugh.

Looks like another excuse to fine truck drivers. I think they're in poor taste, but come on.....
My favorite part of the article: the senator who referred to "truckliness". Boy, could I write a post on that! Hee, hee!
