Conversation of the Day


(The names were changed to protect the innocent.)

Bus Driver upon arriving in Abbotsford (to a would-be passenger):  Hello,  Where are you heading?


Wannabe Passenger:  Vancouver, but I need a ticket, can I buy it from you?


Bus Driver:  Nope, but if you give me a piece of ID, when you get into Vancouver, you can run in and buy your ticket, then we can switch.


Wannabe <Digs out ID, and hands it to the driver>


Bus Driver <Looks at ID for authenticity>:  Good.  Like I said, when you get into Vancouver, run in and get a ticket, I'll wait by the bus.


Wannabe reaches for the ID, to take it back.


Bus Driver:   I'll hold onto it, for ransom, I have had people skip on me.


Wannabe:  But I wasn't going to skip.   <Reaches for the ID again, with a puzzled look>


Bus Driver <Realizing the Wannabe isn't grasping the concept, hands the ID back>:  Ok, Lets try it again.   Hello, Where are you heading?


Wannabe Passenger:  Vancouver, but I need a ticket, can I buy it from you?


Bus Driver:  Nope, you have to buy your ticket from the depot here.  They open in 30 minutes, you can catch the next bus.


Wannabe:  If I give you my ID to hold, can I get my ticket when I get into Vancouver?


Bus Driver <Taking the ID and putting it into his pocket>:  Yep
