A Cozumel Bus Ride!

When I’m not on the road working/traveling, I teach drivers ed part time. What that means is that I take the high school kids, 4 at a time, 5 hours a day driving. It’s a suicidal job with very little thanks from the parents or the students. So when it comes to riding with others, nothing phases me.
We were on a tour bus in Cozumel as part of our cruise. There were about 30 cruise passengers beside my wife and I. The cigar smoking bus driver was maneuvering the bus by weaving in and out of traffic, running lights, and even driving up on the curb at high speed. He drove on the curb for at least two blocks. His cigar, Cuban I’m sure, was filling the bus with smoke as it mingled with the smell from a bad exhaust system. As I sat calmly through the ride the other passengers were freaking out. My wife kept squeezing my hand and saying OMG.
When the ride was over passengers were commenting on how lucky they were to be alive. And then one women said to me.
“Frank? That was damn scary. Weren’t you afraid?”
“Nope.” I told her. “Just another day at the office.”

boilermakerandy, I used to travel to Nogales back in the '60's when I was stationed in AZ. Canal street was the usual stop.
My CO used to tell us not to drive our personal cars over the boarder because of the drug trade. At that time it was marijuana and LSD that were the drugs of choice.
Anyway, being 18 and reckless I drove my car across the boarder, went to canal street for half a night, got in my car and drove back to the boarder. That's when I was pulled over. They searched my '57 Chevy and found 2 bags of grass inside the hubcaps. Some Mexican stashed it there. I was thrown in a Mexican jail for 2 days. The worse experience of my life. I could have been out in a few hours but my CO wanted me to learn the hard way, besides, i was a screw up, and he had enough of my antics.
