am i stupid, or am i just stupid?

i was waiting at the bus stop to go to jurong east the other day.

not all buses terminated at jurong east, and so i was checking the boards to find out just which buses did or didn't so i knew where i should get off.

197....
97...
198...
before i could finish with my checks, 198 arrived.

i happily flagged and hopped onto the bus.

"Uncle, does this bus go to the interchange?"

"huh?!"

"does this bus go to the interchange?"

"ya..ya...boon lay interchange."


what a nice bus uncle.
had i met one that was meaner, our exchange would have gone like this:

"Uncle, does this bus go to the interchange?"

"you trying to be funny izit? which bus doesn't?"
