the wheels may be turning...

Public observation is one of the things I love most about taking public transport.

Yesterday on the bus going to work, I saw this pudgy odd-looking thirty-something guy on the bus going through one of those 101 Mind Puzzles books (you know, the ones insecure brainiacs find amusing).
Anyway, he must have been particularly pre-occupied with his puzzles yesterday morning because he rang the bell to get off, opened his book, turned the page, closed the book again, and pulled the cord a few times to ring the bell again (even though the "stop requested" light was already lit (by himself just 20 seconds earlier)). Plus his wrinkled black polo shirt was on inside out.

So I'm thinking, this guy's wheels may be turning, but they're obviously not touching the ground!
