well, you'll note that I made no mention of impact!

Eh, you're obnoxious.

Maybe your marriage is.

I'm looking forward to a day when clothes no thicker than a long sleeve tee and jeans can provide adequate protection from road rash for motorcyclists. I don't know if we'll get there, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if that's achieved in a few decades.
