>This is supposed to have happened in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. A lady went into a bus and told the bus driver to let her out at the sign that said "200".

>Turns out she meant the zoo - the sign has letters, about 2 meters (2 yards) high, reading "ZOO".
Perhaps she learned the alphabet with a Zed - a crossed Z - so the Z looked more like a 2 than a crossed Z.
Charles Hankey

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
