kamikaze jimmy
jimmy was our school bus driver. top bloke, but mad as a box of frogs. his favourite trick was turning as tight as he could into a roundabout, then driving around it as fast as he dared.
we loved it, but the teachers didn't, which resulted in a nasty phonecall to his boss and a written warning.
after receiving his warning, jimmy weighed up his options and decided that a new career was called for.
he didn't want to just quit, so he decided to get himself fired.
on his last morning, he drove like a maniac, getting us to school almost ten minutes early. there was a large roundabout outside the school, which jimmy headed straight for and began circling.
five times around the roundabout, then ten, then fifteen, then twenty. the headmaster and most of the senior staff were now outside the school gates, giving the bus and its crazy driver the most disapproving stares they could muster.
jimmy didn't stop.
with kids hanging from every available bar and the stairs, he went round for the thirtieth, then fortieth times.
by the forty fifth rotation, several teachers were in their cars, trying to cut him off or slow him down. they finally managed it, just as the bus completed its forty ninth time around the roundabout.
jimmy was, of course, immediately sacked, but to us kids, he became an instant legend.

good on you, fella, you made a crap school day that bit brighter.

length? about 10-12 minutes as i recall
