Failed marketing slogans for the “Segway”



And you thought you were fat before.

Paving the way to a more obese future.

Just (Let Someone Else) Do It!

Remember when people walked for leisure? Ha ha ha.

The Atrophiezer

When you fall over it’s not as hard to pick up as one of those motorcycle things.

The Vertical Geriatric

Best Chick Repellent Since B.O.

Hey! That's the lady who bought our old stroller on Craigslist.

"Graco Metrolite Travel System, excellent condition $150. Includes Stroller, Carseat, Base, and Segway."

Too funny. Those things are so stupid looking. Seriously, if I wanted to be obese I'd just ride one of those everywhere with Ethan in a side car.

I think everyone (especially criminals) will be happy to know that our tax dollars are going to good use, at a parade this past summer several of the local law enforcement officers were riding segways around, I guess bikes were too much exercise. I'm guessing it wont be long before they can use the Segway to pass the physical part of their academy training.

P.S. This post was very funny, but even funnier was the mental picture I had of your unruly class throwing paper airplanes and the such as you feverishly worked on your latest blog post.

The reason, my dear son-in-law, that men still wear neckties despite their lack of function and comfort is the same reason that women still wear high heeled shoes---they look sexy and very classy. Yes, a well knotted, tasteful necktie not only improves the looks of the man wearing it, but also kicks his perceived IQ up a notch or two, not to mention giving him a certain air of gentility. Note that I said a "well-knotted, tasteful" necktie. A double windsor knot is the only knot of choice for the well dressed man. And as for what constitutes a "tasteful" tie---well, let it be said that ANY depiction of a cartoon character--Disney or otherwise--garrish colors, ugly prints, holiday-themes, or alma mater inspired ties do not, I repeat, do not make the grade. A proper tie does not call attention to itself, it only makes the wearer look better than he did without it. I suggest you do as your fashion conscious, high heel-wearing wife does and just deal with it............And now I know what I'm getting you for Christmas.
