More hilarity from Florida: Their new Don't Say Gay law has made it illegal to discuss gender or sexual identity in grades up through 3. They had to write the law in a way that doesn't explicitly say it's illegal to discuss GAY or TRANS, because that would be thrown out immediately by the courts. So they wrote it purposefully vague.
So now teachers are not allowed to refer to "he", "she", "boy", "girl", "mother", "father", "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Miss", "Ms.", etc. They have to pull every book that mentions any sexual identity or gender off their shelves. No more Girl's or Boy's bathrooms. The idiots failed to realize that cis and straight ARE genders and sexual identities.
Be very careful what you wish for! Meanwhile Florida is the CAPITAL of people who put nuts on the backs of their trucks. Huh? WTF? Here, for the uninitiated... Trunk Nuts (Wiki)I'll spare you the graphics, but let's just say that if your truck was born WITHOUT nuts, and you PUT nuts on it, you've just done gender reassignment surgery on your truck and you're a liberal!

Boy, that was a fad I was happy to see go. I guess the rest of the country doesn't have any stupid rednecks anymore since they all moved here.
But remember, every "Florida Man" you read about is a transplant from your state or another better state than Florida.
And I'm the only "Florida Man" most of you know...
Best set of truck nuts I ever saw was a pair of enormous hex nuts wired to the trailer hitch.

I was born in Tampa and spent my early childhood years in Gibsonton, known as "Gib-town" to the locals. Back then, it was the winter home of the carnival workers. A bearded lady was one of our neighbors, and the post office had a section of the counter lowered for midgets. The fire chief appeared in carnivals as "the Giant" and owned the Giant Fishing Camp.

D. Wow, you weren't EVEN exaggerating. Welcome to Gibtown, the last 'freakshow' town in America In return for their contribution to the local economy, residents of Hillsborough County were granted permission to keep carnival trailers, rides and animals in their gardens. Gibtown became a sanctuary, and the stigma associated with the trade was convenient as well: outsiders stayed away thanks to rumors about “carnies” stealing children. The world’s showtown capital remained a well-kept secret, purposely never a tourist destination.
