Okay.....absolutely true story.....I was hit by a bus in Monaco.

[DisneyKevin]

First....let me start by telling you that I am fine......really....I'm okay.

Now the story.

We were in Monaco / Monte Carlo yesterday and walking through a park on our way from a shopping area to the casino (the James Bond casino).

As I'm walking (and using a cane because my knee hurts), a bus makes a turn into the street where I'm walking along the edge.

The driver sees me. I'm almost seven feet tall and wearing an orange shirt.

Instead of waiting, he keeps coming, but has cut the corner so tight that there is no room for me. I didnt even have time to get on the curb.

He bumped me hard enough that he knocked me down. Luckily, there happened to be a patch of very soft grass that softened my fall.

To add insult to the whole thing.....he got of his bus and yelled at me in Monaco-ese (or French). I was too shocked to notice.

He cursed me out and never even asked if I were ok.

It kinda ruined the rest of the time we were in Monaco.

I was scared and mad and we just wanted to get out.

Again....I'm not hurt.......but I was hit by a bus in Monaco.

More later.

AMAZING! No matter where you are for the rest of your life, you have to tell that story to everyone. Only don't actually tell that story. When someone is giving you a sob story that really isn't a sob story, you should just look at them and say "Ummmm, were you ever hit by a bus in Monaco? Because I was. Now shut your whining." And that's it. No more explanation.
Also, you should sue Monaco. Tell them you want jewels.

Wow that was a rude response.
Hope you are Kevin

Holy Crap!

Kevin's list of travel lowlights -

Pick Pockets

Dude shaving in the sauna
Bus running him over...

Nah, Kevin knows me pretty well. He knows I would be lost if anything happened to him. It's exactly the response he would expect from me. But just in case anyone thinks otherwise, I am VERY glad Kevin is not hurt in anyway, and shame on that driver!

 

[apurplebrat]

WOW Kevin that is so awful.
Sending you lots of pixie dust
We miss you. See you soon!

Yes, you definitely should. Tell them you want jewels or maybe a casino.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo glad to hear you are okay.

 

[OKW Lover]

If you have to be hit by a bus, then I suppose it is good that you were in Monaco.

Seriously, glad you are OK.

he got of his bus and yelled at me in Monaco-ese (or French)

Part of me really hopes you yelled back at him in Floridian but I'm mainly glad you are OK.

 

[kbelle8995]

I'm glad you're okay. Proof that idiots are equal the world over.

But seriously I'm glad you're alright. Don't let that jerk ruin the rest of your trip. Looking forward to your safe return.

Forget Floridian! I hope you yelled back at him in Jersey!

If you yell at him in Floridian you better put a Y'all in there. I do. Why don't Y'all watch where you are going?

 

[mdvlprof]

Forget Floridian! I hope you yelled back at him in Jersey!

Seriously, glad you're okay, Kevin.

Pedestrians in Europe are target practice for road users

Not making light of your situation Kevin, just sadly an observation where even now I run across the road while in Europe.

Hope that you enjoyed the rest of your trip as this was something you were really looking forward too

 

[KristEn87]

First off SO glad you are okay Kevin!

Second, what a story to tell!

 

[JWren1234]

I'm very glad that you are okay!

Looking forward to seeing you very soon!

OMG!!! I am so glad you were not hurt.
Be careful out there!!

Forget Floridian! I hope you yelled back at him in Jersey!

Only John & Pete can yell in Jersey.
Kevin should have yelled back in "Albanian"

 

[chirurgeon]

Kevin, I'm so glad you weren't hurt. Stupid bus driver (family board, can't type what I really want to call him) I hope you have had a good time before this and a fantastic time after this.

[Kimberle]

Oh my goodness! I'm glad you are OK.

 

[skunkvette]

Kevin,

Glad you are ok.

You should have yelled at the driver with your "outside" voice!

Could you please save some of this excitement for next week?

Looking forward to seeing you, please take care.
