Down to the bus station trudged
a Georgia co-ed. Thirty minutes
early—It was a cinch. She finally
made It to the ticket window—there
were only 1 5 people ahead of her—
all going to Atlanta. At last she got

"Round trip to Atlanta, please."
Fifteen minutes til the bus left.
Outside much to her dismay she
found a multitude of hopeful pas
sengers pushing for space. She must
think of some way to move that
! crowd. Of course! There was an
empty un-inarked bus behind the At
lanta section. She shouted to the
mob. "Here’s another section for At
lanta!” The crowd looked around
and all ran for the second section.
The scheming co-ed dashed to the
Atlanta bus and stood by the door
with u sailor who didn't fall for her
gag. Now she would certainly get
a seat.
The driver yelled: "Only room for
one more on this bus, I’ll take the
sailor. Other passengers take the
bus behind this one.”
