I came across the following book a few days ago and in light of our recent time in Miami; I though I would share this with you...
An extract taken from Bill Bryson's "The Lost Continent" (1989);
"You only go on a long distance bus in the US because either you cannot afford to fly or - and this is really licking the bottom of the barrel in America -you cannot afford a car. Being unable to afford a car in America is the last step before living out of a plastic sack. As a result most of the people on long distance buses are one of the following; mentally defective, actively schizoid, armed and dangerous, in a drugged stupor, just released from prison or nuns"

Bingo, Mr Bryson, Bingo.
