Pogo Dave on Route 4 South in North Kingstown

Today on Route 4 South in North Kingstown between Oak Hill and West Allenton Road, I observed a guy riding an exercise bike on top of his car. My first thought was that it must be some sort of political stunt, with all the red, white, and blue wrapped around the car and the 20 foot high flags, shooting up off the exercise bike handles.

Come to find, out after examining the photos and seeing the website: PogoDave.com, this is all about nonsense. He even sells support nonsense t-shirts. Now where is the sense in that? Oh yeah, there is none; right got it.

So why is he doing this again? Nonsense, oh wait wait after reviewing his bio it appears there is some sense in this after all: he wants to make people laugh, because as he describes making a lady laugh got him a job. I wonder if he could come back down and perform for my birthday tomorrow; it would have to be strictly on nonsensical basis of course.

I guess if we all lightened up and laughed a little more instead of stressing out so much about how this recession, increased car taxes (which I will have more about later, because I am not going to let that one go quite yet), more taxes, decreased or stagnant pay, and a plethora of other things that are making life very difficult for many of us we would probably all be better off.

Also as the saying goes: laughter is the best medicine, and many studies do suggest this to be true. Also, although I think it probably goes without saying; nonetheless, I will say it anyway. This should be qualified with the fact that it is not very healthy to laugh at crude and demeaning sorts of humor, which of course so often come at someone else’s or even our own expense.
