What about God tells Jobst to wear a helmet and two guns ?
That would make a good Spike Bike storyline. I wonder what
Bob Fishell is up to these days.

PS Taking out a tractor-trailer rig isn't easy.
Jobst is at home, no longer at the VMC. He's using a wheelchair
because he can't put weight yet on the leg that suffered the broken
femur. It isn't clear at all that the cognitive issues that Jobst has
had have anything to do with hitting his head in the accident, it's
more likely that they are due to complications from the leg injury
(strokes) and common issues with elderly patients, surgical
procedures, and long hospital stays.
I know this is asking a lot from you and others, but when you're
looking for reasons to justify your choices (e.g. wearing a helmet),
could you try basing it on facts and not uniformed conjectures about
Jobst's accident?
2. Not to put too fine a point on it, but via hearsay (ie first-person accounts from friends, repeated on to me third hand, but not merely reading his newsgroup posts), Jobst had some cognitive issues before this crash. Cognitive issues are not unheard of in people in their late 60s, and I have some bad news for all of us health nuts: thanks to your excellent cardio systems, you're fairly likely to die from cancer, accident, or dementia.
"Not dying" is unlikely,
It's the case with most non-helmet wearers.
Diminished intellectual capacity is the hallmark trait before and
after the debilitating brain injury.
I regret not adding Liz Hatch. I was trying to minimize the number
of words. But really, no rbr troll is complete without Liz Hatch.

With Liz hatch you'll need rubber gloves, double condoms, kevlar
helmet and safety goggles. Then a gallon of clorox and phisohex to
disinfect the scene once done.
Better off to rub one out on YouPorn
Or use tubs.
