So the lady in front of me on the bus today was amazing.
The roads in Montgomery and PG counties are out of control. I don't think they have done work on them since the Reagan administration and I swear that in some parts I have seen hell in the bottom of a couple of the potholes. Needless to say, bus seats are not the best shock absorbers and sleeping on the bus is out of the question.
Or so I thought.
This lady sits down in front of me and leans her head on the window and falls asleep. Now I'm interested. I know whats coming. Just after the Taco Bell, but right before the Don Pollo, there is the grand daddy pothole. Like god stuck a finger in the ground just to watch people texting and driving hit their faces on their steering wheels.
Now this lady, to make matters worse, is slowly sliding down the window until her head is resting on the aluminum edge window sill. I can't believe she is even asleep first of all, with all of the crazies that I see getting off and on everyday, and second, I have to imagine that she is not new to the area and this probably isn't her first trip on the merry-go-round.
Ok, here is comes........ BAM. Seriously, I heard her head smack the side of the bus. I'm thinking brain damage. She sits up and decides to lean her forehead on the metal bar in front of her and go back to sleep. Amazing.
These are the type of people I feel sorry for. This lady could have made a killing with a circus back in the day, traveling the world, screaming fans paying nickels and dimes for a peak at the incredible unbreakable melon. Instead, she is relegated to some crappy double shift somewhere that makes her so tired that bouncing her face off Plexiglas is better than staying awake for 15 more minutes.
