How Stupid Can Ya Get?
I was telling Chazzy, yesterday, I saw a 20something girl on a hot pink Kawasaki crotch rocket (operating it, not a passenger) texting. Couldnt believe what I was seeing. And a few weeks ago on the same road I was behind a vehicle that couldnt seem to stay in its own lane and was doing about 10 mph under the limit. I thought that clearly, the driver was drunk or high. When I pulled to the left lane to pass, she was steering with her knees and using both hands to text. What the hell could possibly be that important?

but sadly it's usually the innocent who are selected to leave this earth
Crotch rockets should just be banned for all but organized racing - it's not like they are REAL bikes

Maybe we need to take a lesson from China. The offense of causing a wreck because you were texting instead of driving would be why you would forfeit ownership of your fingers to the court.

Re: How Stupid Can Ya Get?
Back in 06, I was driving on the highway, on my way to school. I was in the third lane doing about 70, when a girl past by me. She was in a Honda with the visor down in front of her, something motorists do when the sun is in your eyes, except there was no sun that day. The flap on the back of the visor was down too. She was inspecting herself in the driver's side, visor-mirror, while doing her hair with a hot curling iron plugged into the dashboard. I know that there was no possible way she could see like that, but it didn't stop her from doing it. Cars were swerving out of the way for just about every car that past. They probably didn't want to get into an accident with her blindness of the road in front of her. I don't know if she made it or crashed as I got off on the next available exit...

Re: How Stupid Can Ya Get?
Aah yes stupidity. That umbrella term that is applicable to the majority of human behaviour...depending on context. Is love stupid? Yes and no. Is bravery stupid? Yes and no. Is vanity stupid (as in the example above)? Again yes and no. And so on...
As for degrees of stupidity (how stupid can ya get?), how long is a piece of string?
