Crowded roads and subways are common for commuters in China. Local governments across China are beginning to review the backgrounds and qualifications of all drivers signed up with web-based carpooling and other private car-share services, the country’s transport and public security ministries said. However, some determined and flexible commuters found another unbelievably weird way to go to work. Late last month, police in southern China spotted a white van driving erratically. It wove in and out of its lane, almost causing multiple accidents. Before long, police in Chongqing pulled the vehicle over. Officers approached the driver and could not believe what they saw.
There was a gigantic blob of humans in the van. There were so many people inside that they kept bumping into the driver. This contact caused the van to swerve on the road. Forty construction workers were crammed into a six-seat van. The bizarre scene played out when police told everyone to get out and line up on the sidewalk. In the video below you might think this was a circus clown car as all 40 people piled out of the small passenger vehicle. In total, there were 39 men and 1 woman inside the white van. Additionally, all 40 people wore identical yellow helmets and orange vests. The passengers were all construction workers. Their destination was a building site on the other side of the city, near Chaotianmen Bridge. With the van empty, police saw there were no seats in the back of the vehicle. This allowed the people to get packed in, but also limited the driver’s ability to operate the vehicle. Police impounded the van and issued the driver a ticket. The violation was for overloading a vehicle. However, authorities said that this was the first time anyone had been pulled over for extreme carpooling.
Going for the ride
David Beckham gets in a taxi at Dublin Airport and notices the driver keep looking in his
rear view mirror at him. After about 5 minutes the driver says: “Go on then give me a
clue!?”
Beckham replies, “I had a glittering career with Man Utd, played over 100 times for
England and married a spice girl, is that enough?”
Driver says, “No mate, I meant where are you going?”
What do Intel, Google, Uber, eBay, McDonalds, Budweiser, AT&T, Oracle, Disney,
Boeing, IBM and Apple all have in common?
Immigrants
A totally naked woman rushed into a taxi.
The taxi driver turned back and stared at her so keenly.
The woman asked the taxi driver, “Why are you staring at me that way, haven’t you ever
seen a naked woman?”
The taxi driver replied, “No, I just wonder where you have my money.”
Uber and Google are going to merge.
The new company will be called, “Goober.”
