wait a minute here!!! :)  this is our chance!!  somebody go down to mexico
and tell the mexicans about this ... tell them that they need to "sneak"
across the border in mexican buses!!! that way, the border patrol will think
they are other patrols!! and we get new-old buses into the states!! :)

of course, they'll have to get brand new buses and paint them up to look
rusty and damaged, ;)  ... that way, they can sell them to somebody on the
american side for a big profit.

yeah. i don't think it would work, either. :(
