I always wondered why the white hats didn't get crosses tattooed to their necks. I know it wouldn't be a surefire, but it might help???

We do go on about weird stuff, don't we?

Good point. If there is only one slayer in every generation, then the odds of a vampire meeting one would be WAY less than the odds of any normal person meeting up with a crack addicted mugger carrying a gun. And yet, how many ordinary folk have a selection of kevlar vests in their closet that they chose from before leaving their houses in the morning? You figure, "I'll not meet any muggers today, and kevlar vests are heavy and uncomfortable and expensive... forget it!"

So not only do you not wear one, you don't even own one.

Same for vampires, I suppose...

You guys make good points.

To the vampire nation, Buffy was not that big of a threat.

Yes, she was the Slayer, the scourge of the underworld, but she was centered in Sunnydale.

So, really, you'd think eventually the Sunnydale vamps would take this philosophy (wearing armor) to heart. It would've been interesting to see at least once.

Simon: You...you came for us.
Mal: You're on my crew.
Simon: Right. I guess I just didn't...you don't even like me.
Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?
