From Quora:
What are the best flip flops to wear on a motorcycle?
Naveen Raj:
Oh my god! Why do you need flip flops while riding?

Do you even know how to ride a motorcycle?

Always ride Bare footed.
  • This gives you extra grip on the gear and brake.
  • While putting the leg down, the small stones and mud in the grind will clean the dead cells on the foot.
  • While an accident since there are no footwear, you can easily escape the place.
Also please note that don’t wear an helmet. It spoils your hair and why do you even need a helmet if have this much of strong brain!

I hesitated over liking that... I was loaned to a place like it for a couple of weeks some years ago. It wasn't even really their fault and they were very aware of the insanity. Nice bunch of people and I still have a chat if I see them around, but you couldn't pay me enough to work there long term.

  • All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand. :biggrin:
  • The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
  • Hard work pays off in the future; laziness pays off now.

In a similar vein, "cynic" is what an optimist calls a realist.

It's not really that bad where I work. Mostly, I just like the meme because prod installs can seem like a life or death battle sometimes. :oldbiggrin:
