Is it REALLY such a “good idea” to have the candy-throwers at parades PRECEDE moving vehicles???
It’s like nitro and glycerin – a recipe for disaster:
young, candy-depraved child
+
candy-throwing parade angels
+
consecutive moving motor vehicles
=
insanity – at best.
Seriously, listen in:
Parent before the political office runner: “Don’t run in front of that car!”
Kid: “I gotta get that candy!”
Parent before the fire engine: “Don’t run in front of that car!”
Kid with glazed over look: “Candy!”
Parent before the parade princess Miata: “Don’t run in front of that car!”
Kid with drool-soaked chin and glazed over look (reminiscent of scenes from The Exorcist): “Candy! Candy! Candy!”
1 mph is still not slow enough when one considers the speed with which a child can muster in order to acquire his/her coveted candy!
