To me Vespas look like things to get knocked off of.

I cringe every time I see someone on one without a helmet, and here that seems the majority. My dad's been hit on his bicycle more times than I now know and at least twice, the helmet saved him from becoming an organ donor.

Actually, I see organ donors every time I see unhelmeted non-car cycles.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

To me Vespas look like something to steal. Couldn't you just pick one up and throw it in a pickup truck or something?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I saw a scooter the other day with a bumper sticker that said "I t heart Tel-Aviv," except it had an Adidas logo instead of the heart.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

To me, a Vespa looks like an innovative (for its time) unit-body (i.e. no frame - the body shell provides all the strength) scooter with an aesthetically pleasing shape.

What? I saw a documentary once.

What does that even mean, Hil?

The sushi was gooood. Soft-shell crab is in season.

So you went with the sushi, excellent. I went to one of those pick up and bake your own pizza places.

What kind of wine goes with an Artichoke/Chicken Pizza?
