We need to see more of glamorous Melania. Have you seen her recently? Mind you, there's a funny new bump on the Whitehouse lawn

@Bernard said in School bus drives off the road: Am I being ageist, or shouldn't there be an age limit for school bus drivers? I don't think you're being ageist.

Should that be the cut off for commercial drivers maybe? Or am I missing something?

It sure is @mark bait!!
