One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along his route.
No problems for the first few stops, a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.
At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, looking like a professional wrestler, with huge arms.
He glared at the bus driver, stepped on the bus and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” and he sat down in the back.
Did I mention the driver was five foot three, thin and basically meek looking?
Naturally, he didn’t argue with Big John, but he was not happy about it.
The next day, the same thing happened, Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down.
And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth.
This stressed the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him.
Finally, he couldn’t take it any longer.
He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff.
By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong, he felt really good about himself.
So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” the driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed, “And why not?”
With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, “Big John has a Bus Pass!”
