I have no idea who to give this hat tip to, so I’ll go to that after I deliver the news from Britain and the Daily Mail:
Britain’s first ‘Safe Text’ street has been created complete with padded lampposts to protect millions of mobile phone users from getting hurt in street accidents while walking and texting.
Around one in ten careless Brits has suffered a “walk ‘n text” street injury in the past year through collisions with lampposts, bins and other pedestrians.
The 6.6million accidents have caused injuries ranging from mild knocks and embarrassing cuts and bruises through to broken noses, cheekbones and even a fractured skull.
Now, let’s see. Fred is running a caption contest, Nick wonders how they won WWII, Mary Katharine says that state-issued helmets and elbow pads are up next, and John Hawkins relates a story one of his college buddies had about walking into a pole while observing a Brazilian heartbreaker. Naturally, I won’t have anything nearly as good as that, but I’ll try anyway.
I guess when basic health care is rationed, and the populace becomes too stupid to walk and chew gum at the same time, preventative measures are a must. At least they’re not talking about banning “walk ‘n texts” yet.
This story and photo are hillarious!
I think this looks like Denver getting ready so that the Obamamaniacs don’t hurt themselves banging their heads against hard objects after the nomination is stolen by Hillary!
