Years ago, when I was driving bus, I was driving up a street and on the other side of the road there was a bus parked. The driver was in the drivers seat just looking out the window (not at me). I glanced over and thought to myself.... damn that's me! Our bus terminal was on that street and when I pulled up to the stop and got out to go into the break room, other drivers asked me if I saw that guy in that bus that could have been me. I didn't have time to check him out as I had another route to run and by the time I got back he and the bus were gone. All I remember is how good looking that guy was! Joke at the end but other then that, it is a true story.
