You know how it is, you’re driving down the Interstate with your buddy. You are both driving motorcycles and you see a car full of chicks.
The cops would have you believe that driving up next to the car and trying to hold one of the chicks hands would be an act of reckless driving. Sheeya! Only if you crash or something.

Five Oregon children received lessons in water safety from their parents, friends and relatives this week as all adults on board their boat are believed to have drowned as a result of a prank gone bad. As one adult stood close to the edge of the boat, another pushed him in. Once it was realized the man could not swim, another non-swimmer jumped in to save him. The last fourth non-swimmer realized that a life preserver might be a good idea so he grabbed on and jumped in – without putting it on.
The children were all wearing life preservers but the boat drifted off due to the wind. Alcohol is believed to be a factor.
