do bib have any ?
Discussion
There is a widespread legend that marmalade is a contraction of Marie malade. The story goes that when Mary, Queen of Scots, was ill, marmalade--then quite a rare delicacy--was one of the few things that she could eat. So, the French phrase, Marie malade, meaning 'sick Mary' came to be applied to the breakfast delicacy of the Scottish-born queen. Marmalade came into English from French at about the time of the Norman conquest. But, its origin can be traced back to antiquity. Though made of oranges and lemons, the conserve called marmalade takes its name from the Latin melimelum or honey apple, which was some variety of apple grafted on quince stock. The Latin for honey apple became the Portuguese word for 'quince'. The first marmalades recorded, in the early 16th century, were made of quinces and brought to England from Portugal. But, over the centuries, there have been plum, cherry, apple and even date marmalades.

Worms, Open & Can spring to mind with this one
It seems some people just resent being told whats good for them.
*ducks in preparation for 'seatbelts aren't good for you' onlsaught.
In such a situation if said offender came clean with 'damn what a stupid thing to do - I can't believe I forgot to to put it on' - would that carry any weight?
Also with respect to reversing are you allowed to remove the belt for that manouvre? I know in my rally car with a 4 point harness it's impossible to turn round to look out of the rear window.

its a problem because people cannot see why they should be forced, by the state, to do something which is only for their benefit or detriment. Rather like wearing a crash helmet on a motorbike.
The thoughtful answer is "think of the relatives and think of the emergency services and think of the cost to the country"...but personally I think that's a bit toss myself..
You want your brat kid to turn into a elephant during an accident, and crush you to death, then thats' your lookout surely....

M@H, did you "Google" that?
I did actually already know the answer to the question (being a bit of a trivia nerd), and half expected someone to come up with Marie Malade rubbish, but was delighted to see that you got it right.
I can't helping throwing this one out at briefings etc at the end when the bosses say "Any questions?" Must be why I'm still "only" a PC...

And a further selection from my "hilarious" repertoire...
Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?
Why is there only ONE Monopolies Commission?
If you (hypothetically) superglued a piece of buttered toast (butter side up) to a cat's back, then dropped the cat from about six feet or so, which way up would the cat/toast combo land?

Why did they graft an ear onto a mouse that could hear perfectly well anyway?
