Used in a sentence: Who was that demon bus driver? [Oh right, it stands alone as a sentence, so this formatting doesn't really work.]
Here's what I'm thinking. You know how everyone defaults to that phrase ... "well, if I get hit by a bus tomorrow"? I have to think that such a phrase only caught on in our lexicon because, at some time in our not so distant past, there was a demon bus driver who was mowing down citizens right and left -- with enough frequency to inspire such a phrase. It almost sounds like it could be a comic book villain ...
At work, we're trying to "secret" the whole thing by putting out a different phrase into the universe (just like Oprah taught us) ... as in, "if I were to win the lottery tomorrow" ... now here's hoping that, should I ever be in such a life changing event, the lottery thing happens instead of the whole hit by a bus thing, which sounds awfully messy!
Oh yeah ... and happy back to school week!
I'M NOT MOCKING BUS DRIVERS ... THEY ARE UNSUNG HEROES ...:
