The yardmaster was interviewing an Irishman who had applied for a job as a motor bus driver. “ Can you drive a car?” asked the yardmaster. “ Can Oi drive a car?” repeated the Irishman scornfully. “ Well, suppose you run the bus into the shed.” Pat climbed on to the trembling vehicle. He looked around, grabbed the biggest lever, and pulled it for all it was worth. Sip! She went into the shed. Pat saw trouble ahead, and guessing what would happen, reversed the leve».
