I rode the school bus through the trailer parks in middle school and it absolutely sucked. I would just read and listen to music to try to get through it.
One time these two orca fat rednecks got into a fistfight while I was in the window seat. Fat Cracker A put his considerable bulk on top of Fat Cracker B (who was seated to my left and impeding my ability to skedaddle) and proceed to wear about FCB's head. My narrow ass almost suffocated from these two pricks trying to badly fight each other before the bus driver could stop and sort it all out.
I'd do it all over again, too, to not sit next to Waterhead on a plane.
