You know you're too much into cycling...

[Eugenio Mastroviti]

....if you're walking with a friend and you both turn to follow with your
eyes an all-carbon Bianchi roadie, he says "What a beauty" and you answer
"you sure don't see many like that around", and it's only after you wonder
aloud whether the handlebar is carbon, too, that you realise you were
talking about the bike and your friend about the lady riding it.

Yes, I was suitably embarrassed

Q: How many supply-siders does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. The darkness will cause the light bulb to change by itself.
