It's now 23:59 GMT. Thank you all. And now for one of Coppers best .... A bus driver was on his regular route one morning when a big hulk of a guy got on, glared at him, rumbled, "Big John Doesn't pay!" and sat in the back. The slightly built driver didn't argue with the man, but he felt angry and humiliated. For the next several days the same thing happened: Big John got on, made a show of refusing to pay and sat down. The driver became increasingly upset over being taken advantage of. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore. He began a bodybuilding regimen and signed up for karate classes. By the end of the summer, he had become strong and confident. The next time Big John got on the bus and said "Big John doesn't pay," the driver stood up, glared back at the passenger and yelled, "And why not?" Surprised, the big guy stopped in his tracks, turned his head and replied, "Because Big John has a bus pass." ............. \\|||||// \\\\\|///// \\\\\|///// \\\\|//// \\|// # ` "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace" # )) St. Francis of Assissi # (( (:B) copper_squirrel@yahoo.com # )) )(@ ~* # (((((@)& The Copper Squirrel in his virtual tree In Memoriam C.
