I mean motorcycle helmet laws. Stoopid. What's the point of forcing people to wear helmets, if they're not wearing the other protective gear, like LONG PANTS for one, or boots, or a jacket with metal plates, or gloves. I all'time see guys riding bikes, wearing helmets, their t-shirts flying up over their shoulders from the wind. Listen pal, a helmet ain't gonna help you when you hit the skids in a tank top and shorts, ok? Your head will be the only part of you that's not broken into a trillion pieces and smeared all over the blacktop if you have an oopsie at 75 mph.
So write your congressman, your mayor, or your 6th grade teacher, and tell them they're morons for enacting meaningless laws like that. Because until you pass a law telling people they have to wear more than a thong bikini and flip-flops on the back of their boyfriend's bike (I have actually seen this, swear to Gawd!), helmet laws are a complete waste of time, and a waste of my money because somebody had to sit there and debate the pros and cons of said meaningless law, and then vote on said meaningless law, with a few lunch breaks in between, when they could have been doing something useful, I don't know, like finding a way to fund after school programs or something.
Besides, helmets are for sissies. And laws are for suckers.
Your cousin in law would be dead several times over if it weren't for a helmet. Yes, his jeans kept another layer of skin from sealing the Harlem River Drive, but he got up and walked away because of his helmet.
ReplyDeleteNot like they debated this at length...I can't imagine it was even much of a debate when they passed the law.
Motorcycles just scare the crap out of me! And what scares me the most is thinking I'm going to be driving one day and see one of my girls on the back of one. And they better wish they have the helmet and ALL the protective gear if that happens!
ReplyDeleteWhats scarier is seeing your mother on the front of one......
