One for Brent P

A cyclist is commuting to work -- the morning is
beautiful and he's looking forward to getting out on one
of his favorite roads. Unfortunately on his way into
town, an [censored] motorist cuts sharply in front of him to
pull into a left-turn lane, and only the cyclist's skill
and years of experience keep him from losing control and
dumping the bike, and he finally manages to wrestle his
ride to a safe stop.

[censored] to the max, he spies a large rock in the
gutter, picks it up and throws it with all his
considerable might. It smashes through the rear window of
the car and whacks the driver on the back of the head,
knocking him out. The vehicle loses control and eventually
smashes into a phone pole -- the car is totalled and the
driver is put into hospital for weeks.

Some time later at his trial, the prosecuting attorney is
cross-examining the cyclist on the stand and finally just
asks "WHY?! Why did you do it?!"

The cyclist thinks for a moment, then starts beaming and
says "I didn't see him!"

Works for everyone else 😉. Cept he's supposed to tell that
to the cop. See if you tell it to the cop there are no
charges and no trial.

And man, he should be pitcher in the major leagues with
an arm like that. Through the rear window and still
enough energy to KO the driver. Most thrown rocks
wouldn't even have enough energy to get through the
lamenated safety glass.

I think it was Thad O (re: previous thread titled 'Exercise
Part II'😉 :-)

I dunno if Eddie Fayner could break the windshield, but I
bet he could have hit it, throwing backwards while looking
in a hand mirror.

cheers, Tom

Only the front windshield of a car is made out of laminated
safety glass (AS-1). All the rest of the glass is tempered
(AS-2), which is relatively easily broken but crumbles
safely into "glass popcorn" rather than splintering into sharp-
edged shards.

That's totally unrealistic.

Everyone knows that the pedalcyclist would be long gone
before the police ever got there and, since his bike has no
license plates, nobody would ever be able to identify him.
Witnesses would give the description of a man wearing tight
black Spandex pants, a brightly colored shirt, and a bike
helmet - the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Like the sloth driver who causes a head-on collision between
two normal drivers, the pedalcyclist will just thread his
way through the debris and be on his merry way, free to kill
another day.

Yeah you moron, like a guy on a bike has -ever- killed or
even disturbed anyone in a car.
