According to Reuters, Mr. Smith's uncle, Zachary, was riding with him at the time and was involved in the crash. When asked about his condition, Zachary commented, "oh, the pain...the pain...."

...I had a Smith helment for a while. It was a pretty good helment, but I like the Specialized one I replaced it with better. They said it's carbon fiber reinforced and also lighter. Reinforced carbon fiber plastics are not just for bicycles any more.

I don't know what I was thinking back then. I still like the Koroyd that Smith uses it does look cool but I have heard it isn't as breathable as we wanted.

The self-restraint shown by the members in this string-of-comments is, to quote Carly Simon, "...the stuff that dreams are made of". Maybe we should send a get-well card to Mr. Smith and inform him that he has evoked an anomaly. To quote another singing artist, Tems, "This is the peace you can not buy".

I do think it's a shame that he uses "Jack Smith" as his professional name because "John Smith Brings John Doe Indictment" would be such a great headline.
Now, if he can partner with an attorney named John Q. Public...
One more--I'm pretty sure jacksmithing is actually a trade.
And there's my set of Dumb Dad, Esq. jokes for the day.
