Bills daughter Kim writes just for the helmet I have been under the weather hare a columnist this week my daughter Kbn So the Bill Smiley column wert is by Kan Smiley who better than I da anyway by Kim Smiley Some people actually pay money to their brains teased Compilations of quizzes and men Lai challenges can be found in any large book store usually under the Games section next to Humor In smaller establishments brain leaser books which always assure buyers that correct solutions signify genius are lumped together with Humor a connection that escapes the MENS A hopefuls who buy them But why pay money for what can gel free horse sense inquires The following brainteaser free of charge was recently seen in the window of a Variety store in a small Canadian town Please do not wear helmets inside store Weve heard of having to wear certain Items of apparel in stores like shoes but not being allow to wear something This new and almost as inventive as a sign currently adorning a gas station in that same small town Free hat with exhaust system inspection In my day not so long ago it would have been a simple Free glass with fill up But what nch opportunities for the flex ing of the imagination this gas station af fords lucky passersby What land of hat one wonders One size and color only or a smorgasborg of hat choice A hat you wouldnt be seen dead in cynics will con clude reasoning that the use of the term hat rather than cap means the bonus offer couldnt be some variation on the tunelessly fashionable baseball cap The speculative on even this modest but free brainteaser could keep one mentally Fonda fit for a week How much more so the intriguing Please do helmets in store I put my brain on the wrack Here are the only reasons I could come up with for the nohelmet rule In the Variety store They range from dumb to really dumb Hardness of helmet causing potential damage to perishable goods and persons Potential theft there being room to tuck stolen goods In space between top of head and helmet 3 Managerial prejudice against motor cycle drivers as opposed to say construc tion workers Notice the sign specifics helmets not hard hats Related to above simple helmet phobia on the part of the store manager Isnt there something frightening about the partially disguised face and overly- protected head of the helmet wearer Store managers plan in event of holdups is to club be keeps behind counter on thiels bead Manager lacks imagination to devise alternate plan and therefore forbids helmets store Potential use of helmet as weapon helmeted customer enraged at rising costs charges bull like at store keeper Store manager is in league with gas station owner offering free hat with ex haust system inspection Hats offered are in fact cheap Taiwan- made helmets While motorcyclist leaves his helmet draped on handlebars to dash into store for a Coke gas station owners thug steals helmet and fouls up exhaust system My own mental system exhausted I of fered the list to my family for inspection Discussion settled chiefly around possibili ty Number Two potential theft They decided that the purpose of the sign in the window must be to prevent someone from entering the store with a helmet tucked nonchalantly under his arm then furtively placing a can of beans or a pound of bacoo on his head quickly donning the helmet and walking through the cash coolly buy ing a pack of gum just to cover up you understand Against my protests that allowable purses bags or large pockets would serve just as well and be less pain they stood fast Well I finally just asked went down to the store and under the pretext of coolly buying a pack of gum asked the burning question How come you cant wear helmets in the store She laughed a little Well they garble you know But they Just have those mouth guard things dont they I made mouth guard gestures thinking of kids hockey helmets of years ago No she explained they have face visors A lot of people keep their visors down and we cant make out what theyre saying IlsisS88ol GEORGETOWN 8775266 ACTON 8532219 ow charge your classified to your Charsex Account Ask for details DAD LINCOLN mercury
