As you may have surmised, last week I was walking around the office in my underpants. BUT THIS TIME I HAD A GOOD REASON! The BTA (Bicycle Transportation Alliance) called up a couple of weeks ago, and the conversation went something like this.
BTA: Hey Steve, we need a favor. We want to produce a PSA about the importance of having lights on your bike, and we want you to be in it.
Me: Uh-huh… I dunno… I’m kinda busy, and…
BTA: Oh, and we’ll need you to be in your underpa…
Me: I’LL DO IT.
BTA: You didn’t let me finish.
Me: Were you going to say “underpants”?
BTA: Yes.
Me: Then I’LL DO IT.
(Obviously, when a situation arises in which I can be nearly nude in the office without legal ramifications, I pounce on that mothereffer.)
Anyway… look, it’s done! From the BTA:
In the BTA’s new Public Service Announcement, “Wm. Steven Humphrey’s Strategies for Getting Around Without Bike Lights (or Pants),” the all-too-common gaffe of forgetting one’s bike lights is compared to the unthinkable: going to work without clothes. Riding a bike at night without lights should be unthinkable, too.
So guys! ALWAYS RIDE WITH YOUR LIGHTS! (All the better to see me with.)
*clap**clap**clap**clap*
*clapclapclapclapclapclap*
Successful slow clap!
I had to watch this twice. On first watch I totally missed the actual message.
Very sad, creating an obviously fake organization, the “Bicycle” “Transportation” “Alliance”– just so you can post footage of yourself in your (or someone’s) underwear. You’re delusional! Get help!
Do you use nair or just shave all the hair off your body ?
