Just Zis Guy

From h2g2

When we've driven the last cyclist from his toe-hold on the street Let us not become complacent, for
the job is not complete There's another class of person lining up for our attention And he bends and
breaks the law in every way that you could mention: The pedestrian. His blind insouciance is past
endurance When it's WE who pay the taxes, pass the tests and buy insurance! We are gentle, kind,
forgiving, but he does his best to thwart us As the heart-arresting jaywalker or traffic-jamming
tortoise . . . We INVENTED good behaviour, he's determined to destroy it! And don't tell me to stop
ranting, it's my right! And I enjoy it!

My name is James and am not balding. It's all gone now, it's really quite appaling. My GP said:
