>>>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".

>Can't do it here though, since strikeouts seem to no longer be allowed. I wonder why that is.

-- 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.
