Segways are supposed to be so intuitive and easy to ride that you just can't fall over.

So, of course...

So who was the chick in the white skirt who was holding him upright? (Notice that he didn't fall until she let go and left the scene.)

THE AXLE OF EVIL!

so has anyone ridden one yet? I've seen them in Atlanta and someone I know who rode one told me 'oh, you'll fall off the first couple of times. it's like skating.'

and I have to say I really want one (last techgiz I flipflopped from 'that'll never be me' to 'where do I sign up': the internet)(ie. this is the future yall. mailmen will never walk again.)

Ha - looks like a hit-and-run. And was he trying to invent some new game called "Segway Tennis"?

He's in good shape, though - look at those skinny runner's legs.

"See, watch it fall over! Now if this is where all this new-fangled 'technologizing' is gonna get us, why would we want to developitate all these 'modern' ideas like cars that don't use gasoline and stuff? America doesn't need stuff that falls over whenever there's a problem, like those no-good French; they need something they can dependulate on. CHEVY - LIKE A ROCK."

Did any one save the pic? It's a deadlink now. I suspect a right-wing conspiracy what did it.

Who, except Bush, can afford to ride a Segway, anyway? They are so expensive, you'd have to sell your firstborn to get one.

"President's tumble off a Segway seems a tiny bit suspicious"

not to sound like a tinfoil-hatter, but remember, 95% of this admin's successes come from people being unwilling to believe anything bad about them.

George and Bar-Bar didn't fall of theirs, now did they.

It actually does make sense, according to this theory:

Tom Toles = classic.

Leee admiring Tom Toles = ultimate classic.
