Who You Driving For?

[tdelorme]

Yesterday afternoon we're heading up the Indian Nation Turnpike toward Tulsa. At the second toll booth the the girl at the window says "who you driving for?" Well earlier in the day my grandson had been playing with the musical horn and the first song is On The Road Again by Willie Nelson.
So, I say to the girl, "I'll give you a hint" and push the play switch. He face goes blank for about two seconds and then all of a sudden she screams at the girl in the next toll booth "Suzie, It's Willie Nelson!!"
I wish I had bid on the bus drivers hat at OKC. I think it would fit just fine.

The correct answer to the question "Who ya got on board" is the following....

"You won't recognize my name, but I invented Tampax." That usually stops all further conversation.

I use the following line:

I am just the driver. She thinks she is somebody, but she's nobody.

If that doesn't work:

My agreement requires confidentiality. I could tell you but I would have to kill you.

My wife and kids!

We are constantly amazed by how often we are asked who we're hauling in the bus! Thinking up creative responses is loads of fun!

Loc,

That's a great comeback. I'll be adopting that.

Great if said w/ a quasi sarcastic sneer.

The four questions, not necessarily in order of frquency:

Do you have a band on board? (Variation: Who do you have on board?)

How many does it sleep?

Did you win the lottery?

How much does it cost?

Now that you all know the questions (you probably knew them, but I was just listing them to jog your memories) now is the time to come up with creative answers. For example, "I didn't win the lottery, but I did get a big bonus. I work for AIG....thanks a lot for the bailout."

In fact I use that response all the time. Loc said I could.

I generally tell them its a private coach and I'm a proctologist. I stick my hand out and they recoil getting their hand pulled back. Try it it works not only on the bus but with annoying seat partners on an airplane.

The bus belongs to him. Haven't you seen him on tv or in the movies? We are just hired to haul him from one engagement to another.

Steve Bennett gave me this idea

Jon,

That is way harsh. I dare you to post that on the Country Coach forum.


Gordon,

This thread has gone to the dogs. That's ruff.
