A friends wife drives a school bus , towards the last stop about 7 kids left all horsing around not listening , she hits the brakes .....hard . They listened the rest of the year
Reminds me of a bus driver we had when I was in high school. He was a stern SOB, didn't take******from no-one. Anyway, this one day I'm on the bus, a 63-seat snub nose with air brakes. I'm up front, sort of chatting with said driver. A bunch of guys were at the very back horsing around (like standing, swapping seats, etc). Driver warns them to sit and be quiet several times...no effect. I can see what's coming based on his demeanor, so I warn my buddy, sitting across the isle, to brace hard.:B
Yup, you guessed it, driver literally mats the brake pedal. And if you know how air brakes work.......Yeah, we stopped from 60mph pretty darn fast! :E
One of the guys at the back who was fooling around and not paying attention gets knocked off his feet and slides the entire length of the bus, bouncing his head off the doghouse at the front. I'm sure he saw stars! Driver looks down at him and proceeds to tear him a new one.:W
Poor kid limps to back very meekly and quietly. Didn't hear another peep from the back for the rest of the trip.:p
Moral of the story? When a bus driver tells you to sit and be quiet,
you sit and be quiet!!!Cheers!
