Under the Bus

I can't help but laugh when I hear someone say, "Guess they threw you under the bus" because yeah, it's gruesome but really visual.

Yeah...and what about when people say, "that sucks!" Sometimes things that you 'suck' are actually quite wonderful like lemonade thru a straw, a crisp inhale on a winter morning, a baby's first breath, a suck of oxygen when you come up for air after jumping in the water, and the extra deep draw you take when you walk into a flower shop or great restaurant. Sometimes its OK if other people say to you..'You suck!' just smile and say...Yes...I..do!"

Yeah, sucking is a very individual thing and people who want to intrude -- or JUDGE those who suck, well, they suck! (Some might say.)

PS - Nice visual on the "crisp inhale" thing. Dang.

I drive a bus part-time and I wish people would quit doing that. It messes up the tires and increases the skid ratio on tight turns. And then there's all that paper work. . .

'Course it DOES give you another reason to downshift, and that's always fun.
