Recently, I was riding the bus and it occurred to me that all of the riders were either cowards or idiots.<\/p>\n
It was a bright, warm (but not too hot), sunny day. All of the windows on the bus were as open as they could be. The air-conditioning was on full-blast, making a lot of noise and burning a lot of fuel. And bafflingly, the heater was on!<\/p>\n
