I'm standing in a bus stop at work when a bus drives past from our schoolroom with a sicn on the front reading "Training Bus". A woman standing there asked "What could you possibly be training a bus to do?" I told her it was training to jump the Hudson next July 4th before the fireworks show. She thought that it sounded dangerous. I said we needed to do something for more publicity. If all goes well it will land in a parking lot in Weehawken. If not were out an old bus and a driver with questionable judgement. She wished us luck and continued on her way.

And yet....
They still can't understand why people won't use public transit.

I was thinking that in my head in a joking manner, and then BAM, real life question.

DARPA is currently training busses to kill, so beware.
