Then the Sergent says "lighten up Francis" so lighten up Figmo!

Everyone needs to learn they are not my keeper and if you want to enforce your morales one me, you had better clean up your own first.

Only so much space between the thighs. This position diminishes the discomfort if certain body parts have become entrapped. The alternative is a manual adjustment which requires removing the hand from the wheel and if not travelling alone will elicit disapproving glances from the travelling companion whether spouse or friend. Or it could be the breeze. Now a topic for a study. Do you see the knee out disproportionately when there are two persons in the cart, or if the person is wearing shorts?

Of course The Whacker was totally wrong to be hitting people's knees. But there are still a few narrow paths remaining, and narrow tunnels, where it is disconcerting to see a cart approaching with a knee sticking out the side. Thank you to Blueash for explaining about entrapped body parts, LOL.

My reaction to original post was that the guy was carrying a plastic bat and he was doing it as some kind of joke that is not funny.

To say a few drivers were startled would be putting it mildly but their knees did seem to stay in their carts after going by this "gentleman." so, if you're a knee-sticker-outer, beware of the whacker! Who knows where or when he will strike again.

that man should be arrested! I have severe knee problems, and if someone ever hits me with a baseball bat, i will be calling 911!

I think someone should let him know before he hits someone and injures them seriously. It could cause an accident!

If it was April 1st today, I'd think it was...

Me thinkith that this charactor is in need of some serious help! He should also be singing the following, if he's not already doing so, while changing the lyrics a bit to fit his situation:

They're Coming To Take Me Away :loco:

I'm sure this was my wife in disguise,...she's always commenting to me about guys sticking their knees out into space from their golf carts,...I'll let her know she's been busted! :doh:

This is a strange little thread. A guy who thinks it's funny to assault people?

Now I've got to watch for this guy? I was already busy keeping an eye out for angry ladies with squirt guns :)

And, comfortable male body parts. I never stick my knee out while driving the golf cart though.

Gracie, you hit the nail oon the head -- it was a plastic bat. It was definitely a stupid move on his part, but, from what I saw, no one was hurt, there was no sudden swerving by anyone. I can't say it was the smartest thing I'd ever seen but it certainly wasn't the most harmful. Maybe I should have called the police, maybe one of the three men I saw got whacked did. I didn't simply because I didn't even think of it.
