"This same story has gone around in chain-emails for at least a year now.

Did this really happen to you or did you copy the story from the internet?"

not to speak for Sabre, but i think it's a joke that comes off better when told as a comedian would tell a joke. a comedian would not come on stage and say "hey let me tell you a joke i heard the other day". he would tell it as if it's first hand. they steal jokes from every comedian around. i've heard that joke before and i have told that joke before, just as Sabre did. Only difference was mine was a bus.
