When I was a teenager getting the bus home (it was a half hour journey) there was a group of older girls who were tough and mean to us. Of course the back row was theirs and we would be dead if we got dear it. I'll never forget the day where Sarah, the leader of the pack, was dancing round in the aisle squealing about something or another. The bus driver slammed on the brakes at the intersection and she went flying.

"SITDOWN, STUPID!' (more like SIDOHHHN, STOOPID) came his dry response to her humiliation. No one ever forgot it.
