What Unusual Sight Have You Seen On The Bus?

My sister-in-law rides the East Sprague #90 bus and frequently tells me about some of the more unusual passengers on that route. She says a man got off the bus one day last week wearing an entire bee keeper's suit.

I ride the Liberty Lake route, a commuter route, so it's usually pretty quiet on there. What have you seen on your route that's entertaining?

I see the beekeeper in the valley a lot, and he wears it all the time, even at the grocery store.

That's awesome! I will have to tell my sister-in-law. Thanks!

Tonight a man got on the bus at the plaza carrying the two largest floral displays I have seen all wrapped in clear plastic. We went about 3 blocks and then he got off.
Years ago I was at a volunteer recognition party for the library volunteers and we each got a Volunteer badge and a cup full of candy with three huge baloons hooked to it, so I looked kind of odd with the baloons going home on the bus.

Charles- those floral displays must have been an office giveaway or something because a woman got on my bus last night carrying a wreath made of some sort of feathers completely wrapped in plastic. It was at least the size of a hula hoop so was awkward to say the least.

One time I carried a printer/fax machine on the bus that I bought from overstock at the office. It was one of the old ones too, so VERY big.
