I took the bus - The Firearms Forum

Warith · 10-18-2011, 03:15 PM

I would like to share an experience with you about drinking and driving.

As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years.

Well, I have done something about it.

A couple of nights ago I was out for a few drinks with some buddies and had a few too many scotches as well as a couple of beers and some rather nice zinfandel.

Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before, I took a bus home.

I arrived back safely and without incident, which was a real surprise since I had never driven a bus before.

I believe you missed the point of the joke. "He drove the bus home"

Back in my drinking days I probably would have drove the buss home too, if I could have found my home! There was more times than I care to think about when I couldn't remember how I got home, or woke up some where, and didn't know where I was, or how I got there!

Carver said, "...or woke up some where, and didn't know where I was, or how I got there!"

Or woke up and said, "Who is she? And why, oh why, is she in MY bed. Yuch!"

(I don't drink anymore either.)

Man, after one really bad bender (elbow bender that is) I woke up in this dingy room between two women in a grungy bed. I laid there for a minute trying to remember what I had done, but my mind was blank. The women on my left weighed about 500 pounds, and the women on the right was as skinney as a twig. Knowing I could never sneak past the big one, I started to crawl over the skinney one. Her eyes opened wide and she said; "OH NO HONEY, I'M THE BRIDESMAID!" She pointed at the huge one and said; "SHE'S THE BRIDE!"
I ain't had a drink since.

I drove the bus once for a social group that wanted it moved about 4 miles to a location so it could be driven ona ski trip.

It didnt seem to have much zip. When I parked it I realized the hand brake had not been released when I started driving it.. Oh well.
