Arrow Can't make this up vol II: Vietnam to ban small chested riders from motorcycles



http://news.motorbiker.org/blo...g.htm

Strange but true. The Government from Vietnam are planning to ban small chested people from riding motorcycles! If your chest measures less than 28 inches (72 centimeters) you will not be allowed to ride a motorcycle.

The idea comes their Ministry of Health. They want only people who are in good health to ride motorcycles, and, according to the politicians, if you have a small chest, you are not healthy.

The same proposed law also forbids people from riding a motorcycle if they suffer from enlarged livers or sinusitis. Mind you, this applies only to riding motorcycles! If you are a small chested woman, suffering from an enlarged liver and have a sinusitis problem, you are allowed to drive an enormous truck. No problem....

I see an enormous market for breast implants, male and female, or is this just a ploy for the cops to start measuring the chest of every female riding a bike?

Rumors are swirling that 1SICKLEX was influential in this decision. We tried to contact him but his publicist said he was too busy eating at Hooters.

You guys are misunderstanding chest measurements.
They're not talking about cup size, they're talking about bust.

I didn't see what they classify as a motorcycle (I'm sure they're not talking about scooters, which are 90% of the market anyway), but it makes sense - you wouldn't want a scrawny kid rising around on a 'busa, right? So I think it's just a way of preventing stupid people from buying a bike that's bigger than they can handle. And I'm all for limiting the actions of stupid people.

How about just limiting the stupid people in general?
