Bus incident
[ 2006-12-26 09:10 ]
A woman got on a bus holding
a baby. The bus driver looked at the child and blurted out, "that's the ugliest
baby I 've ever seen!"
Infuriated , the woman slammed her fare into the
fare box and took an aisle seat near the rear of the bus. The man seated next to
her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong.
"The bus
driver insulted me,"she fumed.
The man sympathized and said, "Why, he
shouldn't say things to insult passengers. He could be fired for
that."
"You're right ," she said. "I think I'll go back up there and give
him a piece of my mind!"
"That's a good idea," the man said. "Here, let
me hold your monkey."
