JOKES OF THE MONTH
One thing that's great about the bus is that I get a lot of reading done. I read mysteries, thrillers, romance -- all sorts of things. I just wish people could hold their books a little steadier, so maybe I could finish one someday. I can't wait to retire. Retirees have it made -- it's like a permanent vacation! Traveling around, doing whatever you want to do, drinking out of a paper bag, sleeping in a box -- MAN, I can't wait!
