Regarding the last I Saw You, for the life of me I can't understand why people choose to jog on a busy, one-lane street or any other busy street. What? Did you take it literally when your scabrous uncle said, "Go play on the freeway, kid"? I mean, I am all for getting in shape and exercising, but, really, let's look at the underlying issues here. First, you're going to be breathing in a lot of exhaust fumes jogging on a busy street. Isn't there a school with a track nearby?

No, this isn't about getting in shape, and it's not about your pedestrian rights—it's a "notice me" moment in time. "Look at me, you slothful drivers! Don't I look good with the sweat and all. I'm exercising and you're not!" You don't get in shape by running in place at an intersection. Here's a tip for a little extra income while you're jogging on a busy street—advertise something! Make a few bucks while you're running around town! Otherwise, you're just another narcissistic buffoon who craves attention for no other reason than to feed your limp ego.
