T.C. Wheeler has hit upon a problem that should be of concern to
all singles everywhere - how, exactly, does the seat belt discussion
fit in with net.singles?  Well, here's how the seatbelt debate changed
my life:

I had dated a man twice, which was enough times to decide he was a jerk.
I was giving him a ride home one day and requested that he wear his
seatbelt (as *all* passengers in my car do).  He refused, saying that
he "didn't believe in them."  I told him I didn't care and to put the
d*mn belt on, he offered to walk, I gave in but gave a lecture on the
soaring costs of insurance all the way to his house.  If I had had the
slightest doubts about him before, I was then convinced that he really
was a jerk and not worth wasting my time on.  Who knows what would have
happened if I had stuck it out with him?  So you see, seatbelts saved
my life.  And I've neatly tied it in with net.singles.

Oh, by the way, it was later suggested that I should have made him ride
in the back seat as an alternative to getting out (my first choice).
Any other suggestions?
