Uncle Bubbie's tummy is rumbling...
I was on a hunt for a Popeye’s Chicken joint when I saw them: two police officers riding tandem on motorcycles. I’ve seen this sight many times and it has always irked me and perhaps due to a spell of fried chicken hypoglycemia I thought, “I need to blog!”
Why is it that when you get your motorcycle license that they implore you to ride with other riders in the correct and safe riding position, which is a staggered formation--they even think so highly of it as to put it on the exam—yet two officers always ride side by side, handle bar to handle bar! Oh, I know the standard answer we get every time we question why those in our society that are supposedly in authority show out as bad examples, because they are trained! They are superior to us! We could never do the kind of dangerous maneuvers that they do without proper training. They drive while talking on the cell phone and typing on a computer for God’s sake! Do you know how many laborious hours of hard work and training it must take to accomplish such a feat? I mean, I do the same thing but I’m a dangerously untrained amateur that needs to be corralled before I hurt myself or someone else. There should be laws! We need more laws!! I need to be protected from myself! See that? I just dropped part of my drumstick on my favorite shirt!
