A bill collector came knocking at the door of a lady who had fallen behind on
her bills.
"All right, lady," said the bill collector, "how about the next installment
on that couch?"
The lady shrugged. "I guess that's better than having to give you
money."
Big John does not Pay
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."
