Anyone who stood up got shouted at. Privates remained private and undiscussed, except when Euclid wet himself in the sixth grade. And sharing was not only encouraged, but mandated. I would loan you our bus driver, Mr. Sabey. Except, sadly, he passed away. And all of his authority and expertise with him.Diane Stringam Tolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629946536985545457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-58829190492697159662012-10-11T21:44:09.733-07:002012-10-11T21:44:09.733-07:00I rode the bus to work for years.

I remember a long bus ride from Cam Doc (in the Mekong Delta) to Saigon, in which I was in the back of the bus with a guy that kept raising his arms and when he did about gagged and looked around to see if there wasn't oxygen masks dangling from the ceiling in which I could get a whiff of fresh air.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-31986534808369939672012-10-11T17:33:14.634-07:002012-10-11T17:33:14.634-07:00After picking myself up from the shock of you usin...After picking myself up from the shock of you using the word "y'all" (us Southerners MUST be rubbing off on you - bless your heart)I went on to enjoy the post - as usual.<br /><br />And like you, I wonder why they won't sit.

And then greet me with open arms when we run across each other in other venues. I think my pheronomes attract them.
