A Lime scooter was discovered in Lake Michigan by 12-year-old Will Baumann on Tuesday while he was fishing for carp near the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Retrieving the electric scooter was too much for Baumann to handle on his own, so he recruited the help of Tim Ritter, who works nearby at Lakeshore Rentals, which rents paddleboats and other watercraft.

What flavor were the carp?

Another idiotic idea brought to you by idiots in government.

Lime Scooter sounds like a bar shot drink.

Finders keepers.

“Another idiotic idea brought to you by idiots in government.”

Which? The introduction of carp or the removal programs?

So it says that 25% are illegally riding on the sidewalk, yet it also says that 10% are not obeying traffic laws.

That is some interesting mathematics. Maybe we should call it trans math.

They froze the program!

Gee, wonder why...?

[Howie66]

Lime scooters.

And Carp.

lol

Last night there was a story on the Denver news where a lot of the area municipalities are planning to prohibit scooters on sidewalks, and relegate them to bike lanes.

So now they won't be a danger to pedestrians, they'll be in danger from the cyclists.

Lime Scooter sounds like a bar shot drink.

Or perhaps what results from those bar shots  ;-)

If he had been fishing for a different kind of fish maybe he would have come up with a Raspberry, Peach, Cherry or other type of scooter.

"Some love them, some hate them," he said. "But people need to not throw them in the water; that's not the solution to the problem they perceive."

I guess you could douse them in gasoline and light them on fire but ... air pollution.

Fishing for carp? That’d be about the last thing I’d be fishing for.

[a fool in paradise]

Which law(s) aren’t they obeying?

Drinkinhg and driving
Failure to signal
Failure to yield
Failure to wait for green
Failure to control speed
Riding on sidewalks
Wrong way down the street

Saw all in a night.

“They froze the program! Gee, wonder why...?”

I guess our youts aren’t such good little socialists (everyone sharing everything nicely). Whodathunkit?

[Williams]

What is a lime scooter, ok I guess it’s an electric scooter. How do people get your scooter and throw it in the water? This seems to be a common occurrence.

[Bonemaker]

“If he had been fishing for a different kind of fish ..”

Carp are bottom feeders...like democrats.

I hope it doesn’t turn out to be a lemon.
