thebes Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Was heading home from a job and up a ahead coming towards me was a motorcycle with a side car. Hard to tell in the fading light of the day, but it looked old, not a Beamer, no piston sticking out to the sides, not a Harley, wrong sound, probably a Brit; Triumph, BSA or Norton. The bike was black, the side car was black, the rider wore black leather, black helmet and black goggles. In the side side car rode a skeleton. He flashed by me in a moment, glancing over my way. I felt a shudder in my heart. I knew I had just been passed by the grim reaper How do I know you say? The skeleton wasn't wearing a helmet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a riddle. - Had a brush with the grim reaper... - The rider wore....a black helmet... - The skeleton wasn't wearing a helmet... Did the woman who lives in the yellow house and drives a Ford wear the red hat?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago my expert witness in a medical malpractice case I was defending was a physician who was the head of the Michigan organ transplant society. During a break, he mentioned that the society was against Michigan’s (since repealed) helmet law. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACV92 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I've had run ins with that Reaper guy a few times. Spun for 386' feet on the freeway once, well, at least that's what the Trooper told me. Amidst all of the spinning I swear the hooded fellow decided to ride shotgun for a moment. Just waiting for me to over correct. Had to burst his bubble. Was in an '84 Accord doing 90+, it's a long story..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
