The Thought Process of a Cyclist
By Diane UrsuDo you remember that one time on the A-Team…heh, just kidding.
I bet you thought this was going to be retro-TV week on Moronacity, didn’t you? Actually, there was an episode of Magnum P.I. where Magnum was doing the Ironman. He figured out the case as he was doing the bike part.
I’m pretty sure that most of us would not figure out a case while riding the bike. Our thought process would probably go something like this:
* Okay…steady cadence.
* Push through the top of the hill and keep pedaling down…
* I need a gel.
* I better wash that down with some beverage.
* Ow. Okay, be strong. The pain will end, someday.
* I could really use a steak.
* BEER! BEER! BEER!
As you can see, this thought process is highly unlikely to lead to the conclusion that treasure could have been buried in that flower garden, back there, and that someone could be holding a gun on two other people, right now! Yeah, um…no. That’s probably not going to be the resulting thought process, but what can I say? Magnum is a P.I. god.
Just don’t call him a “P.I.” He is a private investigator.
