The bus can be a dangerous place
I was assaulted on the bus this morning. I guess ASSAULTED is a strong word to use, but I'm going to use it anyway. The guy sitting next to me, about 35, fell asleep and must have had one of those falling dreams because all of a sudden his elbow made a quick jab into my side. Was it something I said? No, I didn't say anything. I was just minding my own business, trying to relax. After the sharp jab, I pretended nothing had happened and he started to apologize, embarrassed from his assault. "It's okay", I assured him. It was at that point that I should have faked a deep slumber and leaned my head over on his shoulder w/some fake drool. The funny thing is that I also had an incident on the ride home last night as well. The man sitting next to me fell asleep with a folder in his lap. About halfway into the trip the folder was poking my side and I sort of pushed it back onto his side until he woke up and I pretended I was asleep. I hope the bus designers at Lakeland Bus are reading this and that they'll take my stories into account when they start designing some new buses. How about some sort of divide between me and the person next to me? Give me a little button I can push that will give the rider beside me a little shock if their head or elbow is getting too close? I'm just a phone call away if you want to run some design ideas by me. I'll wait for your call but leave a message if I don't pick up as I am also waiting to hear from the guy holding my suits.
And now, I'd like to leave you with a new Wednesday feature on this blog, a random photo found on google image search.
