I was walking through town one day headed home like I do every day when I came to the bus stop. I said to myself, self, you have a few extra dollars so there’s no need to walk across town and narrowly miss being killed by three cars, a garbage truck, and a third-grader on a bike who thinks he’s some kind of ninja when you don’t really have to.
I liked the idea I just had, so I sat down on the bench and started waiting for the bus, which I was sure would be along any time now. I had only been sitting there for a few minutes when a rabbit walked up wearing a Hawaiian shirt and carrying a suitcase with stickers all over it.
He sat down beside me and started talking about all the places he’d been. He talked about his three kids and his nephews, and Bob down at the office. He talked about his wife at home with three broken legs. He said she should have been faster when taking carrots out of Farmer Johnson’s garden. That one was kinda sad, but he just kept talking, and talking, and talking. Blah, blah, blah.
In my mind, I was thinking, where in the world is that bus? It should have been here by now. This rabbit is driving me insane. He’s been talking non-stop since he got here. Then he started telling the same stories over again that he had already told me just ten minutes ago.
Then he started telling jokes; lame jokes. He said a horse walked into a bar and the bartender said hey buddy why the long face? Then he rolled around on the ground laughing for several minutes. He thought it was so funny, but I was scratching my head and thinking, “I don’t get it. I really don’t get it.”
The bus finally arrived, and I grabbed my jacket and jumped on as quickly as I could. I grabbed a window seat and started to relax when all of a sudden, I saw that rabbit getting on the same bus, and guess where he sat. You guessed it. He sat right beside me and started telling me the same stories he had already told me twice already. Aaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
