Well, the shuttle did have to compromise and have a large cone strapped to it's butt for aerodynamics... Wink

There might be a market there...........aerodynamic butt comes for some of the shoppers of Walmart. They might be able to push their shopping cart a little quicker rather than wheezing from isle to isle......... Grin

All I can imagine is a serious pile up of cones and the need for orange cone alerts on the intercom. Roll Eyes

All it would take would be someone backing up w/o looking or a backup alarm. Then there would be the problem of trying to turn w/o slapping another persons cone. Shocked

Hmm, wouldn't a butt cone also be known as a butt trumpet.... Undecided

OMG.... if all the butt trumpets sounded at the same time; it would sound like a bloody herd of pachyderms coming up the aisle.... Shocked
