Stop Requested

So this is an oldie, but a goodie:

A few of us were waiting for the bus at 1st and Columbia, I believe on our way to Legend's for poker. We'd been imbibing a little at the Contour before hand and everyone was jolly when the 54 rolled up to the bus stop. Much to our enjoyment "Stop Requested" was driving the bus.
A little background on "Stop Requested". He's a tall (probably 6'6") African American man, who is just plain ripped. This man could probably tear a human being in half. However he is one of the nicest people I think I've ever met. I first encountered him on the 7, but he was then later spotted regularly on the 54/5 route. His claim to fame is that he will announce "Stop Requested!" anytime you pull the cord and the street name of pretty much every stop.
So as we're getting on the bus the driver was chowing down on some Chinese food. We thought it was a little strange, but hey a guys gotta eat. Everyone boards the bus and we proceed to the stop light before getting on the viaduct.
While we're waiting for the light to change he's trying to finish up his meal real quick, when a group of onlookers starts laughing from the sidewalk. So being the friendly man that he is, he opens up the front doors and engages them, "Hey what's so funny? I've got to eat. All these people need to get to where they're going. I don't think that they'd be too happy to wait on me. They're all just getting off work. They're tired and just want to get home. I'm not about to hold them up!" The original group of people and others passing by are now laughing hysterically along with the rest of the bus. Then the light changes, the driver stashes his food away and starts to turn onto the onramp, but not before announcing on the intercom "Wide right coming up people. Wide Right."
Maybe you had to be there, but this is quite possibly my favorite bus experience of all time.
