When I was a sophomore in high school, the last year I rode a school bus, high school seniors drove school buses, and they had manual transmissions, too. They even took them home at night so they could start their morning route from home. I was friends with the guy who drove my bus. He lived in the neighborhood and was a total stoner, like Otto on The Simpsons, but 17 or 18 years old. I think Otto is supposed to be a little older than that.

My, how times change.
