Richard Blows responds to Tom Usher's article on male idiocy, recalling a night of roof rack riding. He agrees that idiocy is a peculiarly male trait, as noted by Usher and the British Medical Journal.
A Night of Roof Rack Riding
Blows remembers his one act of idiocy: after a pub night, the group decided to try roof rack riding on a small red van. They took turns lying on the roof rack, holding on as the driver sped around a field at his parent's farm.
Idiocy and Treasured Memories
Despite the danger, Blows cherishes the memory, still vivid 40 years later. He notes that while idiotic, it was a treasured moment of male camaraderie.
