This new seatbelt law for bicycles that's slated for '06 really upsets me |
|
I guess it applies to motorcycles and boats, too. That's gonna suck.

5. Feds came up with it I guess. For every state but Alaska |

8. What about helmets for bathing. |
|
Folk slip and fall in the tub and shower all the time. And just because corporations manufacturing helmets would make a mint doesn't mean they shouldn't get some sort of tax break, too. It comes down to profits....um, I mean safety.
(I'm being facetious.)

9. That's why conventional showers & tubs are slated to be outlawed in '08 |
|
Too many lawsuits. The bottoms of tubs manufactured after '08 will have to be made of astroturf.

10. I wonder how much Merry Maids charge to keep |
|
Astroturf on the tub bottom clean? That's gotta be fun.

13. Why not strap us all in our beds while they're at it? |
|
Or put us in straightjackets...That'd be a good way to keep people from presenting a terrorist threat. :eyes:
