NOAH THE SECOND
BUT BUS PASSENGERS DIDN’T ENTER TWO-BY-TWO. The rain came down like the Flood, and everybody wanted to get into the bus, not one by one as in the Biblical story, but all together. And the bus conductor, being kind-hearted, he let them all get in.
As he told the Court at Edinburgh he “stretched a point,” but Sheriff Jameson was not impressed by this emulation of Noah. Fining the conductor ten shillings for carrying too many passengers, he said, "You cannot cram passengers into a bus like the people were crammed into Noah’s Ark.”
