Route number 88

When Pete got fired by the bus company, he decided to handle his misfortune like a generous and a responsible individual for once. The smile would not leave his face until he got through the last conversation with admin and payroll people. He would finish off his route for the day, go home or maybe go to his sister's house for dinner, and then maybe stay the weekend playing with the kids, but then come back to his own place first thing Monday morning and start looking for a new job. So he did that. Everybody who got into his bus that Friday afternoon got a free ride. The persistent types who wanted to know why they didn't have to pay were told that "There is a type of a strike today."
