- I sat on the bus feeling quite happy. The passenger next to me was
- reading the paper and seemed rather involved in his article. I chose to bother
- him.
-
- "I like busses. How 'bout you?"
-
- The small iguana seated next to me looked up from his paper, sneered a bit
- and went back to reading.
-
- I waited for a few blocks before trying again. "My name's Bigby. I
- certainly do like busses. How about you? Do you like busses?"
-
- With a sigh, the iguana again looked at me. He folded his paper and took
- the cigarette from his mouth, dropping it to the floor where he crushed it out
- with his tail. "Look," he said, "I'm trying to read my paper. I can't read it
- with you sitting there babbling like a buffoon, now can I?" His accent was
- beautiful. Perfect Queen's English that made me smile.
-
- Taking my smile for some unspoken agreement to remain quiet, he went back
- to his paper. After a moment's thought I realized that there was something
- wrong with this whole scenario.
-
- Everyone knows that Iguanas don't come from England. This was obviously
- some hallucination. I decided to sit back and enjoy the ride.
