One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove
off along the 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 two, built like a brick shit-house, arms hanging
down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!"
and sat down at the back.
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 grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big
John was taking advantage of him.
Finally he could stand it no 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; what's more, 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."
