Dumbass!

I finished my shift downtown today. While waiting to catch my bus to go back home a guy approached me and asked "Hey, are you interested in buying some bus tickets?" Just to clarify, I was wearing my uniform...the same one that all transit drivers in the city wear. "Heh? Are you shitting me?" I replied. "Well, you see, I'm moving and I need to make some quick money" he explained. I gave him the look. The look is a mixture of disdain, anger, and bewilderment. It was designed solely to make people feel stupid and I have spent many a year perfecting it. He took a step back and looked me up and down. About ten hours later he exclaimed "Oh, you work for the bus company! As a driver?" I nodded. Rather hesitantly he asked "so you aren't interested in the bus tickets?" It's situations like that when I fervently wish people required IQ tests before reproducing.
