You referring to those "smelly beatiful things" you "sell to (mostly) ugly people?"

Yay for Atlanta. I'm proud of my city's law enforcement!

Yeah, apparently you can blow up planes with them, according to the intellectual eleet(sic) of US customs

Course, I dont really have a lot of love for jaywalkers either. The mad sprinter that dashes over the road like their life means it I can kind of respect, especially if your overweight, struggling with half a dozen bags of shopping, because if you dont you'll get mushed like a bug and I think it's kind of funny to look at you put some effort in.

Its the dawdlers that piss me off the most.
They see the 1.7 metric tons of 4 wheeled death driven by the psycho short bint rumbling along and they think.
"Gee I might step out about now without really looking"
Pause
"Then, I'm going to check my watch now I'm on the road"
Pause
"Now, I might decide that theres enough time, I'm just going to waddle over this road like I'm not looking and dont care..."
HONK!!!
"Oh my! I nearly got killed and that rude woman is flipping me off, oh well... la-de-da-de-da I'll keep waddling like a turtle over broken glass."
HONK!!!
HONK!!!
HONK!!!

GET OFF THE ROAD!

Oh, and I jaywalk all the time, but I generally pay more attention before doing so as I don't like getting splattered on a windsheild. But that's near campus, SO WE OWN THE DAMN PLACE!

When I worked in Houston, people were always Jaywalking on Smith Street. thats downtown houston. Thie one cat was jaywalking and WHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''
A city bus totally ran his butt over. It was quite interesting as well. To see people on the streets throwing up and fainting cause the guy entrails were strewn all over the street for about a 1/4 mile. ewwwwwe gross. I started to run to help the poor guy, but after seeing and smelling his body, I knew he was dead. The scream he let out will live with me forever. The inside of a person really stinks. just an FYI

That's pretty graphic and serious dude, not exactly light conversation.

I'm sure it'd be crazy to see/smell something like that up close.

Uh... yuck.

They'd probably think of it as points
5 for being a uni student, 8 for not being white, 6 for being possibly harder to hit than a 200+lb person overloaded with groceries
Possibly another 5 points for style if they let out a "ye-haaaa!" in the process
