Intr-o zi, un sofer de autobuz a mers ca de obicei la serviciu, si-a pornit bus-ul si a plecat pe traseu. Nimic deosebit la primele cateva statii: cativa oameni care-au urcat, cativa care-au coborat si totul a fost ok. La urmatoarea statie, insa, un tip enorm a urcat in bus, cam 1,90 m, cu constitutie de luptator categoria grea... s-a uitat spre sofer zicand: "
Big John nu plateste!" si s-a asezat pe un scaun. V-am spus ca soferul avea cam 1,60m, era slabanog si genul de om bland?... Asa ca nu s-a certat cu Big John, dar nu i-a convenit chestia asta deloc. Urmatoarea zi se intampla acelasi lucru - Big John a urcat iar in bus, a spus tare ca el nu plateste si s-a asezat.
Urmatoarea zi iarasi... si-n zilele urmatoare la fel... Pana cand soferul n-a mai rezistat, deja avea insomnii din cauza lui Big John care-si batea joc de el. As ca-ntr-un final, s-a inscris la niste cursuri de body-building, karate, judo si alte arte martiale. Dupa cateva luni, deja era foarte puternic, mai mult, devenise foarte increzator. Asa ca, ziua urmatoare cand Big John urca in bus si spuse "
Big John nu plateste", soferul s-a ridicat, i-a aruncat o privire crunta si-a zbierat la el: "
Si de ce nu?" Big John l-a privit foarte uimit si i-a replicat: "
Big John are abonament".
