Arnie sends testicle sculpture to lawmakers
Meant to suggest lack of balls
Democrat sent Arnie mushroom message
CALIFORNIA State Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has tried to encourage lawmakers to pass a tough budget by sending them a sculpture of bull's testicles.
The US state is facing a $US24.3 billion ($30 billion) shortfall this year.
Senate President Darrell Steinberg wasn't amused, sending Schwarzenegger a note in return lecturing him on not taking proceedings seriously.
The steel, football-sized testicles came back, too.
Perhap Mr Steinberg was miffed that the Governator's attempt at humour was better than his own attempt to raise a laugh by sending Arnie a bag of mushrooms.
Schwarzenegger had claimed the Democrats' budget proposals to deal with the shortfall were “hallucinatory”.
Mushrooms? Geddit?
Schwarzenegger and the Democrats have had a somewhat uneasy relationship after he famously termed them "girlie men".
Mr Steinberg's spokeswoman, Alicia Trost, said the relationship between the Governor and the Senate was "good".
"We've got more important things on our plate right now than to waste any more time on such trivial matters," she told The Associated Press.

I didn't think Schwarzenegger had a pair to spare, seeing as how a) he's a RINO and b) married into the Kennedy clan. ;D
