Where do you think cartoonists get cartoon characters from anyway? Us!!!  
My own profile would make Popeye’s friend Wimpy feel normal.

As regards your driving posture and airbag safety, nobody can say for sure but it’s a safe bet that you’re far safer with the airbag than you would be without, even if your every dimension is three sigma out from the norm. I’d rather slam into an expanding bag of air than any steering wheel and/or dashboard ever made, even if the airbag was in the earlier stages of expansion than would have been optimal.

@meanjoe75fan

I was just telling @wesw that I too have a bad back . . . scoliosis, in fact

What are you disagreeing about?

The thing is, pushing those little button can kind of be like starting a food fight. I practice restraint.

What is he disagreeing with?

Does he not believe I have scoliosis?

Well, I wish I had a good back . . . but I don’t

@db4690: Huh. I usually view this page on my Android, which requires touching the page to scroll. This leads to errant feedback. I usually catch it; guess I didn’t this time!
