Aaron Adams’s Blowhard Blog

Hm, I’ve dedicated more of this blog to old people driving than I ever intended, so I might as well present this:

89-Year-Old Man Busted for Driving While Naked

Ew.

John Welday, 89, was arrested and charged with public indecency after being caught by police cruising in the buff for the third time, WTVO-TV reports.

The third time. THIRD TIME. Had he been drunk the first time, he’d probably already be serving life in prison. Had he been speaking on a cell phone, he probably would have received two life sentences.

Not only was Welday driving while naked, he was carting around more than 100 pictures of himself sporting nothing but his birthday suit.

Police Chief Barry Carpenter of Martins Ferry, Ohio, said there is nothing illegal about the pictures, but he is worried Welday may have been leaving the photos in public places.

“We find concern with it when he is traveling past a park where children are known to frequent,” Welday said.

I have an idea! Whether it’s ever proved that he left any naked pictures in public places, and whether it’s ever proved that he gave those pictures to children or exposed himself, have a judge declare him a sex offender anyway. Make his last few years a living hell. All accused or suspected sex offenders should suffer because of the seriousness of the charge and not the nature of the evidence, right?

I patiently wait for someone from the AARP, or a similar asshat, to defend the right of old people to drive naked.

I’ve just begun studying for my CCNP certification, and within the first two chapters I’ve already found a practice exam question that’s indecipherable to humans (although not necessarily to Cisco employees):

The “correct” answer is B: b, c, d. As far as I’ve ever been aware, the OSI model has seven layers that are numerically labeled. The “correct” answer obviously does not refer to the numerical OSI layers. There is no Layer A, Layer B, and so forth, and even if there were, the question would be misleading because it would not specify that a, b, c, etc. are layers instead of other test answers.

Perhaps the answer refers to the other selections of the multiple choice question. But wait, that can’t be the case either, because here it’s a self-referencing answer, and then it’s an answer that references another answer which references four other answers, including itself and the original redundant answer, but actually names two valid OSI layers (Layers 3 and 4), both of which are correct, but not the complete answer.

What. The. Fuck. Does anyone proofread this stuff before it’s sold?

The correct answer to the question is Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4. That is not a possibility because each answer for the question in the test is a radio button, so only one can be selected. And neither B nor C includes all three of those.
