Two High-Risk Activities
Hey Guys!
I used to think talking on a cell phone and smoking a cigarette was the ultimate way to seek to remove your genes (and some other random person's genes as well) from the human gene pool. However, I recently had to revise my opinion. I saw someone combining two of the highest-risk activities on the road. The guy I saw wasn't smoking, but he wasn't driving a car either. He was driving a motorcycle. And talking on his cell phone.
Think about that for a second. First, it meant he wasn't wearing a helmet, of course. Second, driving a motorcycle (hazardous enough with both hands and a helmet) generally requires two hands -- to shift, brake, etc. The only way for him to use both, when needed, was to stick the phone between his shoulder and his head, bending his neck at an interesting angle to hold it there. Of course, that means he couldn't move his head to look around -- at precisely the time in driving a motorcycle that he needed to the most.
Now, if only he'd lost his gas cap, and had a rag hanging out of the tank...
Yours from just over the event horizon,
