Old Lady & Peanuts ~
Dave
is a bus driver. One day he was driving a bus load of pensioners to
Brighton, on a day trip, when he was tapped on his shoulder by a little
old lady. She offered him a handful of peanuts, which he happily took
and ate.
After
about 20 minutes, she tapped him on his shoulder again and handed him
another handful of peanuts. The old dear repeated this generous gesture
several more times. When she is about to hand him yet another batch he
decided to ask the little old lady, "Why don't you and your friends eat
the peanuts yourselves?".
"We can't chew them because we've no teeth", she answered.
Dave was puzzled and enquired, "Then why on earth do you buy them?"
"Oh, we just love the chocolate around them," replied the old lady.
Here is another of Dave's stories:
The Drunks ~
One
day an inebriated man got on Dave's double-Decker bus and sat in the
bottom deck close to Dave. Now, Dave is not meant to allow drunks onto
his bus but he had a good heart and let the man stay on.
The
man started rambling on and on, disturbing Dave's concentration on the
traffic, so Dave suggested he should sit upstairs. "The air is cleaner
up there and you'll get a much better view."
The man agreed, but returned a few minutes later.
"What's wrong?" Dave asked. "Don't you like it better up there?"
"It's fine," the drunk said. "But it's too dangerous: There's no driver".
More Drunks ~
At the next stop two more drunks got onto the bus. The first asked "Will this bus take me to 25th Street?"
Dave said, "No, it won't."
After a pause, the second man inquired, "What about me?"
