When i got out of the Army after WW II, i came home with a wooden foot, which precluded me from ever getting a commercial driver's license! Pennsylvania lawmakers thought that if you lost a foot, the Drs. also took part of yer brain along with it, thereby rendering ya unfit for anything more mentally challenging than a hand operated wheel-chair!
I proved them wrong on most counts, but the part about school bus driving has steered me away from even trying out for that job! Lady next door asked me if i'd like to have a bus driving job for their school! I looked at her like she had just dropped off the banana boat! I thanked her profusely, but politely declined, telling her that part of my brain was removed by cutting off my left foot, so i couldn't get a driving license extension for school bus driving! (She'd never know how many of the little rats would be in some crick on the first day of school! Head first, not breathing!)
Oh, my dear old mother thought that to be true, when i brought home the 1936 Indian Chief motorcycle and informed her i was going to ride it, which i promptly did! And later, in our local fire company, when i came driving up to the fire in our B-60 Mack tanker truck, with 20 speeds forward, 2 gear sticks, 2100 gallons of water on board, and only used the clutch to start and stop! (Along with the brakes)
Yeah, those kids that won't be bussed to school by me are really lucky--they might not have made it there, if they got out of hand!
