One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and
drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops; a few
people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.

At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet
eight,built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He
glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at
the back.

Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically
meek?

Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy
about it.

The next day the same thing happened-Big John got on again, made a show of
refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after
that, and so fourth. This grated on the bus driver, who started losing
sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him.

Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses,
karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he
had become quite strong; what's more, he felt really good about
himself.

So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and
said, "Big John doesn't pay!," the driver stood up, glared back at the
passenger, and screamed, "And why not?"

With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a bus pass."

Moral of the story:
"Be sure to know that if there is a problem before working hard to solve it"

Really Good one Arjun....Thanks for sharing.
Mr. Sudesh Sanu, whoever you are, request you to please provide the reason for thumps down that you have been giving me for most of the comments or arguments since today morning. Requesting Toostep panel/ moderators to please look and investigate as to what Mr. Sudesh Sanu is upto since morning today. If such people are allowed on Toostep I am sure toostep will loose good contributors and participants.
