I thank him or her for this bit of light-hearted rejoinder (if it was tongue-in-cheek) to spruce up the morning.

This opens up an interesting similarity if we, light-heartedly of course, invoke the doctrine of stare decisis (tongue-in-cheek of course), and claim pedestrians have the right of way along busy Orchard Road, crossing anywhere, anytime, along the vehicle highway.

The 'rationale' is if on a 'pedestrian' footpath the cyclist is king, then on a car highway, the pedestrian can be king.

'sadnohadnoh' inserted humour into a posting which is appreciated and shows a class far above abrasive remarks.
