What the ____ with freakin insurance.

Looking over a few things with my wife running a 10 miler next weekend and the only posted rule is no headphones due to insurance which is 3% of entry fee. WHAT THE F... I was just trying to figure how to support her and get the boys out on the youth day turkey hunt and come across this crap. Obama's health plan and now no head phones or subject to DQ? What next? I understand insurance but you gotta live every now and then!!!

I imagine the reason is more safety oriented than insurance, kind of like the workplace, they want you to hear what is going on around you....

Go buy your wife one of those big boom boxes we used in the 1980's and she can still listen to her tunes and have the "Retro" experience. Make sure she wears an Afro pick in her hair for the added ambiance

That will get some attention!
