I'm wondering if it is some sort of data collection scam. If you search the phrase "Corporal Administrator Associate" you'll find it has been posted to job boards all around the country.

Frozen, chocolate dipped bananas would be WAY more tempting if they had ice cream in the middle.

If that became popular, how long before somebody did something stupid to his dick with it?

Get over yourself you righteous bitch and get to work.

So... let's say that bus had a "Yes on 8" ad... how would you feel driving that around all day?

And I'm not saying that to be snarky, I'm actually curious as to how you'd respond to being asked to do that.

[Alex]

Not that your question was directed at me, but I did mention that specific example in my response above. I'd still fire her (or whatever disciplinary action is union-istically allowed, which would probably be only deprivation of sprinkles on the contract mandated birthday cupcake).

And, if it is a municipal or other government agency operated transit system, as much as I find Yes on 8 disgusting they should post the signs if the space is purchased.

It's funny, I guess I'd have to ask myself "What has the stronger pull, the money coming in or my disgust for a portion of what I do."

Also, before making a stink, I would ask if I could use another bus first.

It's an ad on the bus I drive - it doesn't mean I personally belive it or endorse it. I wouldn't think of it any differently than if the ad were on the side of my business office or a billboard on the roof. And they change them fairly often, a couple of weeks/months and my bus says something different.
