A bus driver was doing his route one Monday afternoon when a giant of a man over 7 feet (213 cm) tall who looked like he kicked whole beaches in people's faces got on the bus, looked down at the driver and said in a deep booming voice,
"BIG JOHN DOESN'T PAY!!".
Then he walked to the back of the bus and sat down.
The driver was somewhat miffed by the giant's attitude and actions but being a relatively small man himself with little to no fighting skill or knowledge, he was afraid to say or do anything about it. About half an hour later, Big John got off the bus, and although he was still annoyed, the driver decided to try to forget about the incident.
By the following day (Tuesday), while doing his route, he'd all but forgotten about the incident - until at the same stop and at the same time as the previous day, Big John again climbed aboard the bus, looked down at the driver and said in a deep booming voice,
"BIG JOHN DOESN'T PAY!!",
before again taking his seat at the back of the bus, and later getting off about half an hour later at the same stop as the previous day. Again, the driver was indignant and upset by Big John's attitude and actions, even more so than on the previous day, as this was the second time, he'd done it. Who did he think he was, this "Big John"? But again, he kept his cool as he didn't have the courage to stand up to the giant.
As he was hoping he wouldn't, but suspecting he might, Big John got on at the same time and stop on Wednesday, looked down at the driver and saying to him in a deep booming voice,
"BIG JOHN DOESN'T PAY!!",
before once again sitting in the back of the bus for about half an hour, then getting off at the same stop as on the previous days. The driver was really starting to get angry now. Who the hell did he think he was, this Big John?!" But again, he was afraid to confront the giant.
The same thing happened on Thursday, then on Friday, then again on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the following week and of every week after that until December when the driver's end of year holidays began. By that time, he was raging inside about this arrogant self-important jerk, Big John!! Oh, how he would have liked to have given that big ugly brute a piece of his mind!! But try as he might, he just couldn't build up the courage to do so.
He thought he might forget all about the incident on his end of year holidays but found he couldn't stop thinking about it. Frustrated, he thought he'd go on a walk to get some fresh air and exercise and try to clear his head.
Making his way down the streets of the city, going nowhere in particular, he suddenly noticed a sign on the door of the building he was passing by which said:
"Tired of people thinking they can walk all over you because they're bigger than you? Wish you could stand up for yourself? Well, you've come to the right place. Learn self defence and strength training here. Just $200 per session. Classes start next week".
His mood suddenly brightening, he walked into the building, made his way to the reception desk and signed up for the programme. He attended every session religiously and also bought heavy weights and a punching bag to use at home. He also learned a number of styles of hand-to-hand combat. By the end of his vacation, he was a force to be reckoned with. He would no longer allow himself to be intimidated by this Big John clown. He'd soon put Big John in his place! He'd sort that big ugly oaf out, good and proper!
Sure enough, on his first day driving the bus the following year, at the same time and the same stop as all those days the previous year, the giant climbed aboard the bus, looked down at the driver, and told him in a deep booming voice,
"BIG JOHN DOESN'T PAY!!"
But that, the driver had decided, would be where the repeat of the events of the previous year would stop! Enough was enough! So climbing out of his seat and standing up right in front of the big man, the driver put his hands on his hips, glared up at Big John, and said authoritatively,
"And what's so special about you, big John?!! Why can't you pay like everyone else?!! HEY?!!!"
Continuing to look down at the driver with an expressionless face, the giant replied in a deep booming voice,
"BIG JOHN HAS A BUS PASS."
