How Driving Cambus Is Like Sex
I recently discovered a blog filled with Cambussers' stories of the road. It is goddamn hilarious. Although, some of it is geared toward a very narrow audience. I found a list of reasons why bus driving is like sex. I have omitted the ones that are funny only to a Cambusser (with the exception of just a few I couldn't do without), or just straight up aren't funny:
1. I’m tired afterwards
2. Women make phone calls complaining about my performance

4. People wave at me when they see me doing it
6. I do it several times a day
7. You’re not allowed to finish early
8. No one will look me in the eye when they get off
9. No entry allowed in the back door

13. I dread it all day but once I start it’s not that bad
14. You have to be careful when pulling out of the barn
15. Doing the job is nice, but it’s the performance evaluations I could do without

30. When it starts to smell funny, I call a mechanic
31. You should always inspect before starting, but who does that anyway?

42. After six hours you need a break

*Butch is a near-retirement mechanic who is short, quite round, grumpy, and... named Butch.
** "clean up" is where all the buses get washed and shit.
