This is why I avoid large groups of children.
Pluggo prefers small groups or just individuals.

What about drunk-driving home after performing in the weekly school drag queen show?
As long as you're still wearing your banana hammock, it's all good!
I didn’t even know that sarc was a school bus driver.
4:20, eh?
Clarke County is about 70 miles northeast of Mobile.
OK, so it's probably 69 miles NE of Mobile.
Someone who can drive at that BAC had better not stop drinking cold turkey. He needs a level of booze just to feel normal.
I have to wonder if that's a mistake or misprint. Almost anyone would be unconscious at that level, if not near death.
The Kennedys laugh.
Chaney had already dropped off all of his students and was returning to school when he was stopped at 4:20 p.m.
You can't write fiction like that. Drunk as a skunk, and stopped at 4:20 while driving a school bus.
Disagree.
I would drink too if I had sunk so low I had to take a job driving a bunch of kids and wasn't allowed a sidearm.
Sidearm? They aren't even allowed to use harsh language anymore.
>>he was stopped at 4:20 p.m.
wrong party, coppers.
Why hasn't the left done a carbon footprint on school bussing and insisted we go back to walkable neighborhood schools?
There's no need for that when their windmills can charge the electric school buses.
