I get on the bus today and am not shocked to see that the bus is nearly empty. It snowed today so, being the NW, everyone freaked out and didnt come to work. I was a little worried that I would have nothing to blog about. Every time I am about to lose faith in the craziness of the bus, Seattle always seems to reach in its pocket and send me some of its finest citizens.
So a 'gentleman' gets on the bus and sits right next to the driver. There is one of these on almost every bus...someone who thinks they are BFF with the bus driver. He starts talking to the driver about routes and other crap. Yeah buddy, that's what we want to do, distract the guy operating the very large vehicle...good call. At the same driver the Fred Friendly hops, another couple walk forward from the back with a small child. They are not the smallest couple and as the guy sits down, the bench actually moves (that is not judgment, that is fact). They ask if the bus stops at Lenora St. Fred Friendly chimes in, obviously, to say that it stops all over 3rd Ave...interesting way to put it Fred, but that is true. So the couple sit down and start having a conversation. Now, I am 99.9% sure they were speaking English, but I have no idea what they are talking about! I can make out the following words:
home-girl
man
receipt
man
house
respectful
I was fascinated by this as they were also, from what I can tell, turning complete sentences into a single word! I was mesmerized by the talent of this and at the same time, wondering who could understand this?! I immediately got my answer. Fred Friendly chimed in with a, "oh no she didnt!" Fred meet the Non-Sensical twins. Then all 3 of them started talking and, ironically, I could understand Fred so I gathered that a girl who was spoken for was going over to a house that had guys there that weren't her significant other. Obviously, it was not said in such a fashion. The duo and their child get off and we are left with the rantings of Fred.
I feel so bad for the bus driver. Fred is chatting his ear off complaining about another bus driver who kicked him off the bus cause he had no money to pay the fare. The nerve of that bus driver!!! Then asks the driver his name and says that he finds it respectful to call the bus drivers by name since they take him from place to place. A respectful crazy...that's a new twist. Fred then lays into a blond joke:
So a blond finds out she is pregnant...first thing she asks is, "is it mine?"
