There’s no logical reason to build a school bus that gets 1 mile per 600 gallons and travels 367 miles per hour. But redneck logic demands that fun-loving bubbas do strange things to school buses.

Paul Stender of Indianapolis explains why his company built the world’s fastest bus: “I built the bus for two reasons. The first is to entertain people because, come on, it’s a jet bus. The second, is to keep kids off drugs. Jets are hot, drugs are not. … We do a lot of displays at schools and we are trying to show them there’s more to life than sitting in front of computers.”

I hope my children read that last bit and take it to heart; I hope my wife doesn’t because she’ll use it against me and this blog.
