Bikes and helmets
« on: August 16, 2013, 05:15:06 PM »
Not really picking on Obama, but I have a question.  Why would a grown adult out for a casual bike ride need to wear a helmet? 

Would you don a helmet for a ride with the kids?

At one time I would have said no, but after helping my neighbor who went over the handlebars and broke his arm and got a concussion after a dog ran out in front of him, I might change that to a yes.

You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh and tell him: "That's a girl's name!" Terry shoots you. You have died of dissin' Terry.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

I did that stuff too when I was 12 and my bones were rubber and my skin was kevlar.  Now my bones are dry rotted rubber and skin is seran wrap.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
