I left my funny in San Francisco

Posted on 05.15.04 4:28PM in friends, funny stories, high school

So, today as I leave school on the bus, I’m explaining transcendentalism to Trizis when, two blocks away from school, our bus driver screams, “Aaah!” Actually, it was more like, “Aaaaaaghagahagahhhahahhhhahahahahahhhhhhh!”

And then the brakes slam on; apparently a car ran a stop sign and hit our front end.

No big whoop, our driver was crying and made sure everyone was okay, we were. And so, the great quest of May 14th, 2004 to get home was on.

You would assume that another bus would come, and shortly after the fire engine and highway patrol car came, one did come. It pulled up. And sat there. Three minutes went by, and it drove away. Ugh.

While waiting, our bus driver asked through a flood of tears: “Is everyone sure they’re okay?!?!” We responded that we were, and she would turn around. Then, twenty seconds later she would inquire again: “Is everyone positive they’re okay?!?” Again, we said we were. This endless cycle went on until the lovable fireman came onto the bus and went to every seat and asked, “Is everyone sure they’re okay?” Needless to say, we were a bit miffed but we understood that such a line of questioning might be necessary for insurance purposes.

Then, the school administrators came in golf carts. Well, only Liem was in a golf cart; the others were in a Saturn, but that’s essentially the equivalent to a golf cart. Then each of them came into the bus and asked, you guessed it, “Is everyone sure they’re okay?” About this time, an hour had passed and we had moved zero feet and filled out two pieces of paper. We were bored, so Trizis and I played Indian War with 48 cards.

Then the bus came, and according to Greglass, it was the same bus that pulled up and then went away before. How’s that for efficiency with gas costing 2 dollars per gallon these days?

By the time I got to the bus stop, I had made a reputation for myself on the Indian War front, gaining many cards having only started out with one. Then I came home at 3:30PM EST and ate a sandwich.

    It was not the same bus that came before. The bus that come before was Route # 19 which obviously was one that has a quick route within the Palm Harbor area. The one that came later was #127 and it was brought from the depot in Clearwater, I guess because they wanted someone who knew the Clearwater area. Anywho they said if we felt any discomforts later to see our doctor and school insurance would pay for treatment. My neck and back hurt and I think I am going to get my doctor to recommend professional massages and get the school insurance to pay for it

    I like to think she’s going through a phase; she will return to me.

    Sorry for the delayed comment, but i would like to point out that due to a forfeit on your part, i won the Indian War. Victory, for a change of pace, is mine. Good effort though, kinda like those dudes at the Alamo that put up a good fight with a lot less men. You’re not exactly comparable to Crockett though, cause he was kick ass in that movie, id go more along the lines of one of those black dudes that had the option to leave, but fought none the less. Not that im calling you black or anything, just coolness comparable, you know? Oh well, love to my brave nigga. Night.

    i just happened to be on that bus and I’d have to say…. Angus shut the hell up. For the hilarious effect of the statement about it being the same bus has on the story, just let it be. Do you have to contest with everything. And you… Casey, if that is your real name, Now and Once in a while lemme know when you mention a story that i was involved in and remind me to comment on it so i can say some more angus-bashing hick slurs.

    First of all, you shut up because your comment is contesting with mine, therefore by complaining about people who contest with stuff makes you a hypocrite, and no one likes hypocrites…
    Second of all, by bashing someone else and not giving your real name means your a scared little pussy, and no one likes scared little pussies either…
    Third of all, my transitions suck…
