SCHOOL BUSES

 Well, now that school's out here in the County of Poke, I've got a question for everyone. Why is it that school buses have nice big numbers painted on them, but then have crappy little cardboard signs with a route number on them? Why not just leave the painted numbers off in the first place, or make a nice changeable sign instead, like real buses have? Seems silly to have a nice bus number and then not use it.

What if police cars didn't use their painted numbers? "Car 54, where are you?" "I'm sorry dispatch, we're cruising the other side of town today, so we're Car 43, over."

Just a thought...

 

Which reminds me; when I was at UConn, there was a couple (or possibly more) who lived in a school bus, which oddly enough they parked in an apartment complex. They had a stove in their, not sure if they had a bathroom though; but it was pretty cool back then...

 

 Which reminds me; also when I was at UConn, there was a school bus converted into a traveling diner, but only the kitchen part of the diner. They used to come around after 9:00PM after the student union had closed, and stay around until midnite or so. Food wasn't great, but when you had the munchies, it sure was handy to have around in the days before microwaves. One year, we had a panty raid going on campus (not sure why), and as a horde of students went running to the girls dorm area, that school bus sure took off in a hurry! They must have thought we were after them because of the food...(ohmigod - are they starving or are they pissed!!).

Well, maybe you had to be there...
