The people who had to take the bus finally decided that they had had enough of route changes, schedule changes, transfers and shitty bus drivers with their obnoxious inbred mutant wart covered faces. FIRST, they forced the drivers, at gunpoint, to pull over between stops! They boarded without exact change and made the drivers give them refunds for the difference with their personal money! They lost their transfers, and boarded anyways and they got in the drivers' faces saying, "So what are ya gonna DO about it, huh? heh heh heh" and if the driver gave them any lip, they forced him to stand on a live bouncing betty at an uncovered bench in the pouring rain while being slapped about the face, ears and groin with used-chewing-gum-covered tennis shoes. They hotwired the busses and stood, and shouted, and smoked in them and they tied the hoods who sit in the back seats to the bumper and dragged 'em a few blocks. THEN they commenced to burning all the buses, driving them off of bridges, rolling them in heavy traffic, and the like. They commandeered fire trucks and hosed water into passing car windows near all the corners where the big puddles gather after a storm, and then they cut down all the traffic lights with chain saws. They got on the phones, called the emergency operators, reported accidents, looting, flooding, riots, pickets, protests and people chaining themselves to fences, buildings, vehicles, smokestacks, each other and every other goddamned thing. They came out in force. They flooded the market with cheap bonds and they cordoned off the area. They broadcast paid political announcements, showed their 1-800 number and set up a perimeter. They trounced the opposition, filed all the right forms, got all the sneakiest lawyers, ate their Wheaties and they beat the tar outta those heathen A-rabs. Again. They ruled America with an iron fist, those people who had to take the bus. It was the golden age of the pedestrian hero. They made us all see it their way, and they straightened things out. This November, VOTE for the people who had to take the bus!
