I just saw a guy riding his bike down Fifth Avenue, weaving across lanes, carrying an end table. This means the table completely blocked his vision on one side, the legs stuck out a couple of feet, and he was only steering one-handed and clearly wasn't in control of the bike. Riding down Fifth Avenue, dodging cars.

There is no way this will end well.

Back when I was in junior high I once saw a guy driving his car while reading a newspaper. As in, paper up in front of him, wide open, completely blocking his view. He was zooming across St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans, which means not only cross both lanes but crossing the center island with the streetcar tracks. And he wasn't crawling along, either. I have no idea if he crashed into something before he reached the end of whatever article had claimed his attention.

End well? I'm surprised he managed to get started.

Wow. And I just can't stop thinking of the time I took out an actor's larynx with a piano bench. (The damage wasn't permanent! And we called the paramedics! Honest! Your neck has lots of bones in it, it doesn't need them all to be unbroken!)
