B: I will take the #11 bus.   "Now how can that be a joke?" you're probably thinking. According to my Chinese teacher (who finds this joke to be hilarious), the expression "to take the #11 bus" means "to walk." A pretty bad example, but there's my transit-related joke. -------------------- Insert signature here.   Posts: 4332 | From: Taking the Number 11 Bus | Registered: Feb 2004  |  IP: Logged |  transit buff "The Mole" Boring Machine Operator Member # 1330 Member Rated: posted 11-13-2004 09:03 PM                    What would happen if LI bus merged w/ Dominos pizza ?
