If I were forced to ride across Canada on Greyhound I can't say I might not do the same thing.

Then again, if I were forced to endure living in Canada in general I can't say I might not do the same thing.

That's pretty f-ed up. I once considered riding Greyhound to pick up a car, until I posed the question on several forums. Basically, I was unanimously told that if I wanted to meet drug dealers and underage prostitutes, that Greyhound was for me. Needless to say I took a plane, no need for underage hookers here.

"Assault knives" should be illegal. Won't someone please think of the children?

wait, can we get back to the underage prostitutes?

I love this understatement:

"Authorities declined to provide other details of what they described as a "major incident.""

We don't keep knives in our house.

Biodegradable sporks work just fine, thank you.

When I was in high school I rode a greyhound bus from Fla. to NJ. It was without a doubt the most dreadful experience of my life. I finally got off the bus at a rest stop in VA and hitchhiked the rest of the way home rather than endure another moment on that awful bus. I can see someone with a few mental shortcomings being pushed over the edge on one of those busses.

Death by spork doesn't have the same ring to it.

Back in college I had to ride Greyhound once for about 5-6 hours to get to a train station. Not fun. Only made tolerable by virtue of a walkman and a half a bottle of vodka.

Bizarre. But in a sort of strangely attractive way.

It must have taken the RCMP forever to get there by horse.

Holy moly! Bash a guy if you have to, but decapitated? Wife & I rode the Greyhound down to Boise, ID once to pick up a Range Rover- awful ride down, lap of luxury back home. I almost didn't take the wife- Greyhound buses are nasty!

I'm sure some of them videotaped this so they could put it up on YouTube.

I took buses in the 70's a few times while in the USMC. Unbelievable, every time I went to the men's rooom in the terminal, any terminal, some guy always want to show me his "thing".
