The Americans first attempt at a double-decker bus didn't quite go to plan.

Oi.... I read that

I haven't had a bump in ages

The wheels on the bus are upside down

The Driver Ed students had been playing so much Grand Theft Auto the school had no alternative than to customise the school bus

Creating a bigger bus by welding two together hadn't quite worked.

Terry the Scouser didn't quite grasp the concept of doing a cut and shut...

Neither do I (but I'm sure it would be very amusing if I understood).

Cut and shuts are the most hazardous of all kinds of vehicle fraud. A cut and shut is where the remains of two or more cars have been welded together to create a 'new' vehicle.

The remains that are welded together are likely to be write-offs. For example, a vehicle with a front-end impact could see its rear being welded to a vehicle that has been rear-ended. The resulting vehicle is then resprayed and 'tarted up' to look like a genuine vehicle.

It's not that amusing; particularly if I have to explain it. Plus, I kind of just nicked the idea off Harry Genshaw anyway.

I will of course, go and kill myself immediately.

No, no, don't do anything desperate. Indeed, I thank you for broadening my education in the popular argot.

I'd enter that into the caption competition if I were you, Monty.

I was thinking of something more along the lines of the new hybrid school buses caused seating problems for late arrivals, but changed my mind.

And quite right too.

The MOD yet again deny lack of equipment for the armed forces, as new pictures of the army mine sweeping hits The Sun.

Hang on a minute:

Oh, now I get it. It's an illusion as Roger Taylor said.
