there's something about segways

i find inherently funny. (maybe it's the price? which is preposterous.) i saw my first one in melbourne last february. it had an indian on it. that made it even funnier. anyway now i see new york's police come armed and segwayed. the "simpsons" writers find them funny too. i recall kent brockman reading a news item: "…bringing this year's segway fatalities up to 1,000". i think new york's criminals are probably laughing too. look out! here comes segway squad.

It's the Segways in the mall that bug me. Almost as much as those heelie shoes that make me want to push the kid scooting past on his runners into a display...just for fun.

But cops on segways? I so gotta see that.

Hard to take the police seriously on those things. They are a blast to ride however.

maybe they do it for comedy??? do police officers have a sense of humour?
