I am back. Happy belated summer solstice to the three of you reading this. I am kidding, at least that is what I have been telling myself. I have been a little busy to peruse the news for you but something came up today that went beyond my sense of the absurd. Apparently the largest supplier of bullet proof vests to law enforcement officers, us regular folk get our bullet proof supplies from mom and pop operations, is urging its customers to replace vests containing the the fiber Zylon. I like that name, Zylon. Repeat it with me, Zylon. It takes the great sound of nylon and adds a "Z" sound, so how can it be bad. I do bet that shit does not breath though, and as such I would be loathe to wear it. Give me cotton, wool and silk any day. In fact, I will go shear the sheep myself right now. Shit, I nicked the beast and now find that with the mint and oregano I have, the beast is dinner. Anybody for lamb chops?
Anyway, Second Chance Body Armor is telling all those with vests with Zylon to replace them. The best part is that this company is undergoing bankruptcy reorganization because of numerous lawsuits regarding defective products. I mean there should be no need to be careful when your product purports to be able to stop bullets. What can go wrong? Ahhh, so law enforcement officers have a false sense of security, it is as if the joke is on them. I can see Ashton Kucher pulling a stunt like this on Punk'd. What a laugh that would be, until the bleeding stopped anyway.
That is my half thought for the day. Check your vests for zylon, and if you find some remember that you are not invincible. Ciao!
