I saw a headline today that read: “Governor Wants Tighter Seat Belt Law”. Really? Those self-tightening seat belts are tight enough now, I thought. They’re tight enough that, when I go through a fast food drive through and order a double cheeseburger, large fry and a 56 oz Mr. Pibb, I can’t take my wallet out of my hip pocket without unlatching my seat belt. (Is that even legal?) Then you eat the burger, fries and guzzle the Pibb and that belt gets even tighter!
I gave a business associate a ride to BW3 once. I didn’t know him that well. My car started beeping – I told him his seat belt needed to be on. He replied, “I know” and proceeded to do nothing. He knew he was too big for the seat belt. I gotta tell you, that was one awkward ride. What does one do in that situation?
- Turn up the radio?
- Talk about the weather?
- Turn back?
- Ask him to move to the back seat?
- Take off your seat belt to sympathize?
I think I said something like, “So, like hey, what’re you gonna order at BW3?” Yeah.
