Bloke got a job as a bus driver, to start on Monday morning at 9 prompt.
At 9.30 on the Monday in the depot, the bus inspector saw the bloke sitting at the wheel but not moving. "What's going on here? You were due to leave at 9!"
"I can't go yet - the bus conductor hasn't turned up..."
"'Bus conductor'? Good heavens, man, we did away with those decades ago! These days, you have to collect the fares yourself!"
So off he went. Four hours later, the bus, now two hours late, hadn't returned. The inspector got in his car and drove round the route and, to his horror, came upon the bus on its side in the village pond, the driver sitting on the grass in tears.
"What's happened here?" asked the inspector.
"I can't understand it, sir. I went upstairs to collect the fares and the next thing I knew the bus had crashed into the water!"
