　　The other day, I told Connie that I'd rather take the bus to work than ride in my comfortable limousine, because of the high cost of gasoline. But today, I discovered how wrong I was.
　　When I got into my limousine this morning, my driver told me that the motor didn’t sound like it was running well.
　　“Look,” I said, “I have an important meeting at 9:00. I have to be on time!”
　　We drove about three blocks—then the motor died.
　　“Sorry, Mr. Foster. I thought this might happen. But look! There’s the downtown bus. Maybe you should take it. So you don’t miss your meeting.”
　　“Well, I…I…Oh! I suppose I have to.”
　　I got on the bus and gave the driver my money.
　　“Mister, are you serious? We can’t make change for a $100 bill!”
　　“I AM CHARLES K. FOSTER. AND I ORDER THAT YOU SHOULD MAKE CHANGE!”
　　“Mister,” said the driver, “I don’t care who you are. You will have to get off the bus.”
