Our bus driver in SRM had the most flowery language I have heard - and we heard it every morning on our way to college :) It's fun reading your blog - I will make sure to comment in future as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19075040.post-60364238122014984222008-11-15T02:01:00.000-06:002008-11-15T02:01:00.000-06:00I can totally relate to that.
