What exactly is a reflective belt you might ask??? Certainly everyone has seen one and knows its purpose in their very lives... don't they? Well... some might not I suppose, but those of us in the military know it all too well! There are several ways to wear it. You can wear it the standard way... clipped around the waist. You can wear it over your shoulder like a sling like the Army folks do it. I really don't want to know how a Navy person would wear it. ;) I believe it all started in the Air Force, though.... Legend has it that someone on a deployment to SOMEWHERE was once run over by a REALLY BIG vehicle on that deployed base in the land of SOMEWHERE. The reason, THEY decided, was that the driver of the vehicle could not see the person because they weren't wearing their Air Force issued reflective belt at night! From then on it was set that ALL persons would wear them during the hours of darkness, but a legend has grown along with a bitter hatred for these $1.99 pieces of plastic. There's even a site for people who hate reflective belts with a membership of over 10,000!!!! Hard to believe isn't it??? When you think about it all, however, it's kind of mystical. 
You see the legend is that the reflective belt has evolved into a powerful protective force that, when wearing one, a person becomes, shall we say, INVINCIBLE! This is a very powerful thing... this invincibility. For instance... if you are walking home from work at night in the middle of the road you can do so quite safely because any vehicles that might hit you would simply bounce off of you!!! Yes... it's amazing isn't it??? That's not all, though! Just imagine the protection your offered during a time of war... while being shot at... if you're wearing this extremely powerful force field you will destroy the enemy at will!!! Their bullets will not only bounce off of you, but they will reflect back toward the shooters and take them out while you expend ZERO ammo!!!! NICE!!!! They've even started using them on Airplanes to protect them as well... a wonderful way to keep the passengers and cargo completely safe from harm!!! :) 
In the future you might even see more reflective belts for the family dog or cat... the pet goldfish... even the pet roach under the sink!!! The possibilities are ENDLESS!!!! In fact... as you can see... the family dog looks very fashionable (and safe) in his specially made pet reflective belt and harness!!! :)
Always remember... SAFETY FIRST!!!! There are so many more ways to put this super force field to use... pretty soon everyone will have one in their homes, in their offices, in their cars, etc.
So... in closing, I am reminded to keep my reflective belt handy at all times (during the hours of twilight to dusk) when outdoors. I don't dare walk from the room to the bathroom without it, either!!! After all, I could be run over by a car or a truck driving down between all of our barriers (only wide enough for two people or a bicycle) then I'd be up a shit creek!!!

Peace, Love, and Poker
