Um, that's because your choice of helmet color is utterly unimportant as compared to your choice of helmet: and she's chosen the wrong kind if she wants to keep that pretty face intact. It's her right to do so, of course, but it's also Andrew's right to poke fun at her for acting like a Playboy-cartoon ditzy broad.

My pastor is taking the MSF RSS class this weekend. Last weekend he asked me where to buy a helmet. He said "I'm going to get a half-helmet because I think it will go better with my leather jacket tattoo Harley look I want to cultivate" ..kajfbg;uidv

Good luck. This part is kind of correct.
