When I got to the bus stop (ON TIME FOR ONCE) I was surprised to find that the vehicle hadn't arrived at its appointed time. Confused and confuzzed, I brought out my cell phone and called up the transit authority.

"Yes, I'd like to report a missing bus."
Operator: "Sure, ma'am, what's the bus number?"
"TK-426"
O: "Okay, gimme a moment..........................the bus is there, ma'am."
"Well, I don't see it- - -"
O: "The driver says they're buried by a soft, purple something crushing it..."
