I’m a Home Economics major so I understand spandex.

However it will not protect you against road rash.

Very true. I know from experience.

And if you hit the trails in Georgia, you quickly realize that chiggers/redbugs love it.

I keep "Off" in my workout bag.

Chris Horner, who was on Armstrong’s team, was asked once what it felt like crashing in the tour. He replied, dress in your underwear, tie your feet together and jump off the back of a car at 35 mph.

Some of my buddies and I took a home econ class in high school because that's where the girls were.

We were shocked at how interesting, practical, and fun it was.

And, yep, the girls were cute.

BTW, the rules of etiquette and table manners I learned in home econ served me extremely well in my career (I did a lot of client entertaining...mostly in NYC).

Mom's try to teach that stuff to boys but we don't usually listen. When you learn it in a class full of cute girls, you pay attention and it sinks in.

That class was infinitely better than the alternative at the time (study hall).
