And She Wasn't Even Wearing Heels.




I was riding the bus today after I spotted a flourescent bike parked on Madison Avenue. At one of the stops, a lady was disembarking when she fell down the bus steps LOUDLY -- kind of that heavy sliding and loud thumping you hear when a large person eats it.




And almost everyone stood up and ran over to check it out. A woman she knew who was still on the bus called out to her, "So-n-so are you OK?"




And the bus-step victim called back, "I'm fine. I just hit my spine."




My spine. That's all! All clear over here!




And then the bus driver was going back and forth with her over the whole mess -- long story short, during rush hour everyone riding had to get off and wait for the next bus. Apparently, if someone falls on the bus, it goes out of service until the bus police come make everything right.
