SURVEY - GIVE UP YOUR SEAT​

 

[Ivory]

But would he give up his seat if he were a passenger?

He's afraid to take a bus because of the crappy drivers!

I think the punch line should have been “I’m the bus driver” not “ a bus driver” Makes much more sense

Him replying that he 'is the bus driver' implies that she approached him on the bus, i.e. when he was sitting in the driver's seat.

That makes no sense.

 

[Buchanfarmer]

Oh yes I was thinking she was boarding the bus, sorry my mistake.

 

[Buchanfarmer]

But that was the original joke I saw years ago

That wasn't the question!

Fail. Would have been better if he'd said, "I'm  the bus driver."

OTOH, I'm sure bus drivers travel in passenger seats when not on duty. So why wouldn't he give up his seat ... ?

Selfish feminist survey person.

I believe in gender equality.

I'm assuming, NEITHER were on the bus. She would
A) Have to be really dumb to bother the driver - and
B) If he was driving the bus, he wouldn't answer a survey on the job!

But they're not doing the survey on a bus. He is A bus driver.

I believe in human decency. I would offer my seat to anyone in genuine need.

But they're not doing the survey on a bus. He is A bus driver.

Which therefore destroys the punchline. Bus drivers can also be passengers. Or does he pretend he's driving the bus even when he's a passenger? When he plays Bus Driver does he also do the sound fx - vroom vroom, ding!, screeeeech ... ?

As I ended my post ... bus drivers can also be passengers. Or does this bus driver only ever board a bus to drive it?

 

[BigAl6164]

That wasn't the question!

It was assumed, reasonably. The bus driver was being disingenuous.

 

[BigAl6164]

But would he give up his seat if he were a passenger?

The question assumes he's a passenger: "If you were travelling on a bus ... "

You wouldn't say the driver was "travelling," even though it's technically the case.

Exactly!
