   Why bother?  It means it takes you longer and more effort to get going again.   
      
   Leaving your foot on the brake doesn't expend any energy, you use the weight   
   of your leg.   
      
   Handbrakes are for people with poor clutch control.

   My younger sister was having one of her first gynecological appointments and   
   she had some questions for the doctor.   
   "Doctor" she asked, "I can't ask my parents, They would kill me but my   
   boyfriend wants to have anal sex.  I don't know what to tell him, I mean I   
   don't know anything about it.  Can I get pregnant?"   
   The kindly old doctor smiled whimsically and replied "Of course, you can my   
   dear.  Where do you think lawyers come from?"
