Dude. The mouth might be a safer place to stick that.

It's a not-unusual sight in my long-distance travels, especially in the summertime, to pass or be passed by a (usually) car with a (usually) youngish (usually) female in the front passenger seat with her bare tootsies up on the dashboard.

I don't especially see the allure in this, either from a personal comfort or voyeuristic standpoint, but whatever. Eleanor's done it once or twice in 20-plus years, the occasional other long-distance passenger has done likewise. Whatever floats your boat.

But please. Do not emulate what I saw after a reasonably productive but very long day today as I headed west on the 90.

I was passed by a dude assuming the classic paw-up pose. Of his left leg up on the dash. While driving.

Forget the eww effect on passing motorists. Don't even account for the possible need for that second foot on the floor if the right foot got stuck or injured or something.

Nay, all I need do is the trigonometry of the situation: of where, and at what speed, the airbag is likely to go if activated with my crotch aimed up at the steering column.

Guys? The Vienna Boys Choir only accepts new members of middle-school age and down. That rules out most licensed drivers.
