Drunk on a bus
A
drunk gets on a
transit bus. The driver, impatient while the drunk fumbles
in his pocket for change,
drives off. As the bus starts rolling, the drunk reacts to the
sudden movement by stumbling
all the way to the back of the bus.

The
bus stops at the next stop. He reacts by stumbling to the front
of the bus. Still the man is fumbling in his pockets for change.
The
bus jerks
forward once again, and the drunk stumbles uncontrollably to the
back of the bus.
Next
stop, the same thing happens. Every time the bus stops, the man
would stagger to the
front. Every time the bus starts, he staggers uncontrollably to
the back.
A
few stops later the drunk exits the the bus from the front.
"Hey",
shouts the bus driver... "You didn't pay your fare
yet!"
The
drunk, reeling, shouts back
"And I'm not going to!..... I walked all the way!"
