New York to Denver non-stop
Let me tell you about the bus ride I'll never forget.

I'd been contemplating whether I should risk it, but the prospect of being a passenger on the inaugurel non-stop bus journey from New York to Denver was just too tempting. Plus, they didn't do a Denver to New York leg, so I didn't have much choice.

Most of my concerns centred on the bus itself. Now, this bus was a work of art. Designed as the future of travel, this thing was both a double-decker and a bendy bus at the same time. The sucker was huge, and did I mention that it was jet propelled? No? Well, it was.

It took me a long time to work out how the jets were somehow also nuclear-powered. Although I don't think I ever really understood this aspect of the marvelous vehicle, I'd managed to block it out of my mind by sitting right at the front, as far away from the reactor as I could get.

So you would think that these design features would be enough to worry any passenger. Not me. I was up for experiencing whatever cutting edge technology would bring my way. What I did not anticipate, however, was one of the replacement drivers (yes, the originals were out for the count not long after we set out) turning out to be a cannibal!

oh dear
is it bad that I know what film you are talking about..

with such unforgettable scenes as the onboard bowling alley and flattening small villages as it gets upto speed with all manner of dodgy aerodynamics.
