    In an attempt to fight childhood obesity, kids late for the bus must “run their behinds off” to get to school.

    More like Crankshaft who considers it a challenge if he can outrun the kids or the mothers chasing after his bus with a kid’s lunch

    I WENT to Calvin U. Smith Elementary!

    I just read that John McPherson grew up in my home town, Painted Post, N.Y.

    When I saw this comic, my jaw hit the floor.

    Well played, John!

    One day, a kid was late getting to the bus stop (in rural area):Busd driver asks one of the kids if he were riding today?No.Later at school, pa brings in kid after 10 mile drive, and complains to the principal and bus driver.Bus driver brings in the other kid:“I thought you said that he wasn’t riding the bus today?”“Well, he didn’t did he?”

    There’s always 10% that don’t convert the message into appropriate action. over and over again. Politically Correct Police want to dumb-down society so everyone performs at the lowest level. Then, they want to take money away from achievers to give subsistence to professional slackers. Darwinians are being thwarted.
