A Journey To Shout About

(I’m on a bus after school and there are three teenage boys by the window of the bus. Every time the bus passes a new person they start shouting abuse at them.)

Teenagers: *making rude hand signs and swearing at two passers-by*

(The bus stops and the two passers-by get onto the bus and step past the driver.)

Driver: “Hey! You need to pay!”

Passer-by #1: “Oh, no, we’re not here to ride the bus.”

Passer-by #2: *holds up badge and points at teenagers* “Secret police. We’d like you to come with us.”

(The teenagers had been shouting at people the whole time and only just realized what was happening. They looked sheepish and got off the bus with the two undercover cops. The entire bus was laughing. As the bus drove off without them I saw the two cops shouting at them less than a foot away from the teenagers’ faces.)
