Spokey Dokeys

They clipped on the spokes of your bicycle so it made a clicking noise as you rode it

The TV ad had a theme tune with the chorus of "Cruzin' with Spokey Dokeys"

An oldie...

On a small island just between Houston and Galveston, I know of a pair of neighbours who try and out do one another with the golf carts they use to get around the island. One had a full 4x4 conversion with huge yellow shocks and everything else in miniture. The other neighbour had his done up as a caddilac with extra long bonnet and boot!!

Hmmmm.....the number of taxi drivers I've seen here in Vienna with plastic spinners cracks me up! I've even seen them in the UK. There are a couple about Reading

Today I saw a non-ambulent Hispanic in a wheelchair with bling wheels.

Not just plain ordinary polished chrome, but spinners. I do not have the facility to post a pic but please take my word for it. I suppose anyone has the right to customise their personal chariot but it sure as hell left me speechless. I wondered what other needs he had that wanted the cost of expensive bespoke wheelchair spinners. Perhaps they were a gift. And like those on cars, I wondered how often he actually saw them when on the move.

Sheesh.
