While We Wait, A Quiz
This is what the tourist waiting line looked like yesterday morning for the ferry to cross to Cancun. This is September, one of the slowest tourist months of the year. And it was raining.
But here's another quiz for you:
What do these items have in common here on Isla: a baseball batter's protective helmut, a construction workers yellow hard hat, 2 baseball caps and a plastic bucket?
a motorcycle helmet is what these items have in common
ReplyDeleteScooter helmets?
ReplyDeleteused by bikers and scooterers as helmuts.
ReplyDeleteUsed to carry something?
ReplyDeleteSomething you'd wear on your head if the lines were long and you needed to cut in front of someone to secure a place on the next barge out of Isla.
ReplyDeletehelmets , coscos(sp?)
ReplyDeleteThey are all considered "legal" head protection while riding motorized bikes.
ReplyDeleteYep, they must be used as moto helmets!

ReplyDeleteI know! I know! These are all suitable containers for guacamole!!!
ReplyDeleteHas to be 'things that pass for motorcycle helmets'!
ReplyDeleteI have to add, here in AZ there's no helmet law for people on motorcycles. Duhhhhhhhhh. Isla is way ahead of us!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking rain hats.
ReplyDeleteI guess cycle/scooter protection, but we are probably all WRONG!
ReplyDeleteI fear they are all scooter helmets. But I so want it to be something involving hot candle wax and a midnight rendezvous.
