A packed public bus was crawling through New York traffic when, all of a sudden, the driver started weaving through lanes, squeezing past taxis, and accelerating every time the light turned green.<\/p>\n

Passengers were gripping the handrails like they were on a roller coaster.<\/p>\n

One nervous businessman shouted,
\n“Driver! Slow down! What’s the emergency?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Without taking his eyes off the road, the driver replied,
\n“My shift ends in eight minutes, and my girlfriend told me if I’m late one more time, she’ll find a man who actually knows how to keep a schedule!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The entire bus went silent.<\/p>\n

Then an elderly lady smiled and said,
\n“Son, don’t worry. Women always say that.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just then, a young man near the back laughed and yelled,<\/p>\n

“Ma’am… judging by the way he’s driving, he’s not trying to keep his girlfriend… he’s trying to qualify for NASCAR!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The whole bus burst into laughter.<\/p>\n

As everyone got off at the final stop, one passenger shook the driver’s hand and said,<\/p>\n

“Good luck with your girlfriend!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The driver sighed and replied,<\/p>\n

“Thanks… but after today’s driving, I’m more worried she’ll ask me to drive her mother home!”<\/strong> \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude8c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
