In Gourd We Trust

Nigerian motorcyclists are wearing dried pumpkin shells on their heads after a law was brought in forcing them to wear helmets. Protests were staged after police impounded thousands of motorbikes because their owners were not wearing helmets.

FOOTNOTE: Shell shocked.

    Let's see if their skulls survive a motorcycle crash! Maybe then they could call themselves "The Smashing Pumpkins"!!
