Jerking and Driving

I always chuckle at those who consider themselves morally supreme to others.  When you look down your nose at others, you eventually run smack into a wall because you are not watching where you're going.

Here's an excellent example.

Today I read an article about a safe driving campaign launched by the state of South Dakota which had the slogan "Don't Jerk and Drive."

What do you think of when you read that?

What the state of South Dakota meant was don't jerk your steering wheel on icy roads.

But the morally transcendent had other ideas.  "Jerk" can mean "masturbate."

South Dakota subsequently dropped the campaign for fear of offending those with divine principles.

But here's my question:  Why would the phrase "don't jerk and drive" be offensive unless your mind is in the gutter? 

The moral of the story?  Those who are holier-than-thou are just as perverted as everyone else.

They probably fart, too.

Oh, the humanity!
