Kneepads for skateboarding? I can see that if you’re doing extreme tricks, but for ordinary skateboarding that’s ridiculous.

How do you do a head stand with a helmet on? I never heard of such a thing. Why is a cannon ball jump into a pool a safety hazard?

I would think that the Post Office would stick to their strengths – postage stamps on how to run from dogs, shoulder heavy burdens, bend at the knees to peak through front door mail slots, drive outside the white lines, and aim at coworkers.

If a few of those stamps sneak past the destruction order, collectors will go nuts. Then maybe in 95 years, if the USPS still exists, they can reissue the stamps in a new denomination in an effort however futile to make some money. It’ll be the Inverted Jenny all over again.

Because when I need parenting guidance, I look to the US Postal Service to show me the way.
What were they thinking when they issued the Indianapolis 500 stamp showing a speeding car with no airbags, and dozens of other safety violations. http://media.nola.com/business_impact/photo/9154079-large.jpg
