The Bus Trip From Hell

Okay, here's another story. Sure to make some people sad. Not Bus Wars, but still the same bus...

One of the very few times my friends and I ventured down the back of the bus resulted in our attention being held by one story the way home from school. An older Canadian girl, about 17 at the time, had skipped school that day. I forget how we knew, but everyone did.

Anyway, she got on the bus, and she was all upset, so a couple of us went down the back to see what it was. Nice and chivalric, hey? Well, it turned out that her friend back in Canada had just died. It wasn't like he was an old friend either - he was her age. He'd just died of AIDS.

On the way home, she told us all about how he got AIDS, what he was like, basically the entire story of their friendship. She was crying a lot of the time as she spoke, which was fair enough because they'd been close. After she got off, the rest of us were all shocked - not upset or crying, just all in awe. Sharing needles had given the guy AIDS, so that was probably what has turned me off drugs a lot, if subconsciously.

In a completely unrelated story, but yet another one set on the Bus, is the magical flight of a paper plane. A magical flight? I hear you say. Yes. This was the most remarkable flight of a paper plane I've ever seen. I don't care how far you can throw one, what tricks you can make it do, nothing compares to this.

One of my friends had constructed a paper plane, and was throwing it about on the bus. Fun while it lasted, I might add. He was sitting by the window and, facing the front, threw it (parallel to the window). Wouldn't have been a problem, except that the window slightly in front of him was open.

Being that the bus was going fairly fast, the plane was sucked out the window.

No!!! we cried.

We cried out too soon.

A window down the back was also open. For some reason, when the plane was sucked out the window it had done a 180 and started flying back down the bus, albeit on the outside. No longer. The open window somehow sucked the planet back into the bus, whereupon it performed another 180 and started flying back to my friend. It didn't make it, but it was the freakiest flight of a paper plane I've ever seen.

 

Q, did you DRUG your victims?? :-o

How the hell did you undress someone, shave them, burn off their hair and RAM A BOTTLE UP THEIR ASS without them waking?!?!

 

Jar, a similar things happened to me, once:

My mom and dad had an important shopping list ready so they knew what to buy on the way to our grandma's house. My dad had the list on his lap, and it was suddenly sucked out the window. We stopped and searched the area five times for it, but we couldn't find it. We bought the stuff from memory and continued to my grandparents' house. When we arrived, we got out of the car, and my mom noticed that, somehow, the list had flown along the car and gotten stuck under the back door handle, which held it there for nearly 100 miles!
