Public Transportation…
It's like the world's body odor and halitosis shoved into a tiny moving can with hundreds of short people that need to be pushed. Still, it gets you placesThe Chair-Maker…As far as I know, there wasn't a soul who knew this fellow's name. He practiced the fine art of chair-making in a manner similar to a luthier carving the body of a guitar or performing reparations. His hands: rough, cracked and calloused things they were. Time-worn and experienced, they could craft these magnificent things even when he faced the disadvantage of blindness after his friend's alchemy experiment went wrongThe Blind Watch-Maker…had a keen interest in alchemy before he (and a friend) ended up blind when an experiment took a wrong turn. You see, this watch-maker had a love for money and all things valuable. He was a materialistic miserly old fool until he forfeit a sense for a desire that had blinded him in the first place. For years he strived to turn the cabbage that grew on the hills around him into pure gold. He came so close. Alas, fate frowned, hence his loss Cabbage…was what the blind watch-maker began to depend upon. The advent of his blindness had left him penniless, since he was not able to continue his livelyhood. He began a frugal life, living upon cabbage soup flavored with the bitterest of horseradish and the sourest of shitweedShitweed…Lemongrass > ShitweedTom yum soup…Spicy and shrimpy
Nobody ever said travel was easy
Don't forget all the chavvy preteens with loud cell phones, playing their most shitty "tunes" for all to hear.
lmao yes!
It's especially bad here in South Africa, where the most substantial public transportation we have is the taxi service, which involves 50 people being stuffed in a decreipt old 20-seater van that's held together with tape and has a wrench instead of a steering wheel.
And let's not forget the drivers' strange beliefs and practices:1. If someone has been waiting at the taxi-rank for a taxi, and then they change their mind and go away, the driver will drag them back and shove them on the taxi, even if they pay the fee for the trip they weren't going to take.2. If the total fees are lower than they should be, even by something as pitiful as 50 cents, the driver will stop the taxi and demand that the cheapskate owns up. Then, once that person owns up, or someone else gives the driver 50c, the driver will take the taxi back to the nearest rank, and have an impromptu court session.3. Whether you're in a hurry or not, the driver will only leave once his taxi is full.This is why we have bikes
The alchemy experiment failed to make one grow a third eye, instead making one have an unquenchable thirst for eyeballsNow do that association thing with chair-makers and public transport.

I never said shitweed was bad. Sour things taste good, like sucking on lemons. Beware enamel!
