A friend of mine threw a party on a boat on Lake Meade (sp?) and I think the folks who had been going to loan him their buses were not able to for some reason, so there were two kind of normal 4th grade school trip sort of buses and one more luxurious one. The more luxurious one was nowhere near as hoity toity as the bus driver seemed to think however. He got up and told everyone that this was a $240,000 custom bus and he bet none of us had ever been on one of those before. (a) Pretty much every major touring band has a bus that would qualify as one of those and (b) this particular party is a yearly event. Doh.
So the bus driver totally scolds us all and tells us how fortunate we are to be on this bus and we better let someone else get a chance to ride it back and we better keep our seats. Then he proceeded to take forever showing us every feature of the bus. And I mean every feature. Like he didn't just show us that the ceiling changed color; he showed us every damn color it could turn. Then he showed us what the stereo would sound like with a whole variety of different horrid CDs. Then he told us that he would have no problem putting any of us out on the highway if we misbehaved. Do any of us look like we are six-years-old?
Then he told us that we better use the plastic cups because he didn't feel like washing the glass ones. He mentioned this at the end of his long speech, after a lot of people had already mixed drinks and started consuming them. Ew. Fortunately, I was just drinking a juice out of the bottle, as I am totally squicked out by germs.
