if you dont like these awkward moments just call them royal pythons


however, if you DO like these awkward moments, you could add to the confusion by adding truck nuts / bumper bullocks to your vehicle.

then, once people around you finally understood that you have a ball python collection, you can drop lines like...

"driving around on rainy days makes my balls look really dirty"
or...
"yesterday a stone or something hit my balls as i was driving on the freeway, now they are all splintery, i guess i have to get new ones".
