Default Need a good laugh?

While on my way to work today, I saw an old riceburner ("TOY"ota) with a huge wing on the back. Typical primered body, aftermarket tailights, and a large fartpipe muffler. When it passed me with it's super sonic speed , I could see the wing was ready to fall off. At the next light, it did fall off. I guess the big speaker vibrations took their toll! So out jumps this junior gangsta wannabee. As he is trying to fix the high performance wing, his big baggy pants fall down too! At this point everyone at the corner redlight is laughing at him. He gets mad at us and starts going back to his car door,(with his pants still around his big oversized shoes). Yep! He tripped and fell down because of the chain hanging on his pants. The question here is........would you have helped this overgrown kid with his situation? As for me, no way.

No, he has plenty of energy and "down-force" for self-help.

I seen an old man tell a young man to pull up his pants in a public venue, and the kid went nuts, and cussed out the old man. I am 2 times the kid's size, and suggested he pull up his pants, and try his thug tactics else where.

Does no good to help the foolish. pearls in front of swine.
