When the bus pulled up, the first thing Lisa noticed was the size of the bus driver - clearly he was among the 98% obese! He easily sported over 500 pounds of weight on his near 6 foot frame. He smelt heavily of bread and cheese, making Lisa cringed as she boarded. She looked for a farebox, and didn't see one, as she stood with coins in hand.
"Oh, no fare needed ma'am," said the driver, turning his fat face towards her. His voice sounded deep and sexy, like James Brown, as he continued. "Public transit is free in South Barkalow. Where are you lookin' to go?"
"S...city hall," Lisa blurted out, remembering that interviewing the mayor of this fat city was on her list.
"We go right by," the driver continued, his voice rumbling up from somewhere deep in his enormous gut. "Just find a seat, and I'll call out city hall when we're close."
Lisa took one of the fancy broad seats about halfway back, across the aisle from a woman of her own age - a woman who weighed at least twice what Lisa did! Lisa hoped that their similar ages and similar professional dress might get the woman to open up to an interview, so she leaned into the aisle and asked the woman, "I'm new here. Could you recommend a restaurant?"
