Default Helmet ******s

As is always the case at this time of the year, some ****** has to bring up
helmets in a way that shows helmet ******s as what they are - stupid ass

You can take the cowboy out of the country but you can't take the hat off of
the cowboy.

Next: baby safety helmet for any time they're put in strollers.

Can you picture Crocodile Dundee in a foam hat?

How would he attach the animal-claw headband?

"Aw, no, mate, y'can't be puttin' that on there! Why, what if one of
them claws fell off and scratched yer chin? That counts as a head
injury, y'know!"

Hey Tom

Tom since when has the helmet debate been a limited to a certain time
of the year? And besides, it's summer in Australia and winter in
America so you can't say it's due to the weather. Us helmet ******s
like to look after our heads all year 'round, unlike the non-helmet
******s who just don't seem to care at all.

You can take the cowboy out of the country but you can't take the hat off of
the cowboy.


First they came for the motorcyclists, but I didn't care because I didn't
ride.
Then they came for the bicyclists, but I said nothing because I didn't
pedal.
Then they came for the cowboys, but I kept quiet because I didn't ride a
horse.

Who's next?


Next: baby safety helmet for any time they're put in strollers.


Ok, who's next after that? Are there any helmet laws that effect more than
20% of any population? Or is it just minorities who get told what to wear?
Easier to get the laws passed when you select some small group, and say, "look
at these risk takers, they do something you don't! They raise your insurance!
Make them wear a funny hat so we can all see that they are different. Isn't
it fun to make other people live they way you want them to live?"

You wouldn't expect it to. I don't see any way a helmet can protect
against neck injury.

Awww c'mon Dave, you've only got to wave a helmet at Kunich and he
