Afternoon Drive with Jeff & Carly

On Friday, I promised I’d let you know how my bus trip turned out, so here’s the scoop.

When I boarded the coach in T.O. 15 minutes prior to departure, there was only a handful of people on the bus.  Expecting to have two seats to myself, I sat near the front - better view, nowhere near the washroom, quick exit once you’ve reached your destination.  What I didn’t realize is that particular bus also stops at Scarborough Town Centre, where a plethora of people came aboard.  As a seasoned bus traveller, I should have known that when passengers get on a crowded bus, they panic and grab the first empty seat they see, which tends to be the closest to the front.  A young guy with a big backpack and a nasty cold sat next to me.  He was coughing up a lung and snorting back snot the whole way.  I guess he’s never heard of Neo Citran.  When he finally fell asleep, he started to lean into my personal space, which meant I had my face pressed up the window the entire trip.

Let this be a lesson to you, kiddies.  When faced with deciding between studying theatre or law at university, follow the almighty dollar (worth about $1.02 U.S. at last check).  You may be as bored as hell, but at least you’ll have enough cash to fly first class anywhere you want.
