Some idiot out there is always whining about how people are not nice any more, that there’s no sense of community in our big, soul-less, drive-through ubiquitous Starbucks megatropoli (is that plural for megatropolis?!)
Perhaps a solution lies in the one place we most desire to be left alone — the bus. The authorities could pass out a bus/coffee loyalty card to help encourage bus passengers become friendly with each other. Every second person on the bus gets a special coupon for two free coffees. The only catch being that the person must bring another bus passenger with them to collect the coffees.
People would then get to know the other regular bus commuters and possibly become friends, lovers or just polite passing acquaintances. Granted, this naive view of turning a bus ride into a mobile party has its flaws (someone would definitely try to bring a pair of bongos for one) but the point remains that the world would be a better place if we did not look upon other bus passengers as scumbag murdering war criminals. After all, only about 10% of the general population has murderous intentions and this idea could help flush out the terrorists among us.
Brilliant or Stupid? Obviously we had too much coffee before recording this...
