Youtube Moment

Stop!  I am warning you this blog post is gross. Yes, this is a disclaimer, so if you get sick or feel woozy after reading it, don't blame me.  

Have you ever ridden on a bus?  For those who have, you know sometimes they can be over crowded, very uncomfortable, and make you realize public transportation, more than often, really sucks.  I rode the bus to a meeting today, call me cheap, but I did not want to drive my car on the bumper bumping city streets.  The bus was so crowded I had to stand and hold on to one of the grimy passenger handles to keep from falling every time the driver slammed on his breaks.  Everyone was so close together, breaking each other's personal space, there was no doubt the word comfortable had been socially taken out of the English vocabulary during the bus ride from hell.  You ready for the gross part?  There was a lady standing beside me and between the two of us was her 10 year old daughter.  Her daughter grabbed her stomach and started coughing while facing a row of people that were staring at her.  Then out of the blue, the sick girl vomited all over them.  I don't mean once but three times.  It was not just a casual vomit but one that had a projectile spraying everything around it.  I watched people wiping the vomit off their bodies, and saw one lady stand up, that had open sandals on, with the vomit squishing between her toes.  Everyone on the bus had their eyes and mouths open wide, saying nothing, just hoping it was all over.  That was a definite Youtube moment.  I, of course, felt like the chosen one because I did not get one chunk, splat, morsel, or ricochet of the vomit on me.
