Tangential Ramblings

I just missed the 77 bus. But an 87 came along just behind it, which follows the 77 all the way up Wandsworth Road before the two go their separate ways. I need the 77. I told the 87 driver that I need him to catch the 77. He told me not to worry, and that he'll catch it. The trouble is, all these pesky passengers keep making the 87 stop. And there seem to be more such-minded people on this bus than on the 77. My advice: deny the passengers who wanna get on. Catch that bus!
