When the driver reached the half-way point he decided to stop at a passing bar so his passengers could have lunch and use the restrooms. The driver had an ulterior motive as well and wanted to slip away for an hour to see an old girlfriend he had in town.
He explained to the bartender that they would all have a hamburger with French fries for lunch. He then explained that they his new customers couldn’t hear or speak but if one of them slapped their hand once on the bar in meant they wanted a beer and if they slapped their hand twice on the bar it meant they wanted a shot and a beer.
The bus driver slipped out the door to meet his old girlfriend and the bartender served lunch. After lunch if a customer slapped his hand once on the bar he gave them a beer and if the customer slapped his hand twice on the bar he gave them a shot and a beer.
This code worked out fine and the bartender was happy with his new crowd of easy to please customers.
After about an hour passed all his new customers started to pound on the bar in unison. Not one or two slaps on the bar but multiple hard then soft then hard slaps.
Just as the bartender was scratching his head the bus driver returned and looked sadly at his passengers. He then looked at the bartender and said, “now that you got them singing I’ll never get them out of here.”
