yes. once. my fat-ass cousin, weighing in at nearly 300 lbs, was seated
in the middle of the back seat (actually, she was seated in the right,
middle, and left of the back seat), when she dropped her bracelet. when
she leaned over to pick it up, the bus reacted violently in a side-to-side
rocking motion. but i may have over-corrected ... i was trying to stay on
the pavement. :)

you mean to say it ISN'T Friday??? :(
