Butt Clenching In The Nanny State

A new project funded by the Government’s Higher Education Funding Council for England, has come up with a series of leaflets and posters encouraging people to exercise while waiting for the bus.

According to the campaign’s organisers, those minutes spent at the bus stop watching the traffic go by could be spent more usefully – by standing on one leg, pointing your toes or clenching your buttocks.

‘We thought it was a good idea. Doing exercises while waiting for the bus is a good way to pass the time and beneficial to your health, too.’

A better idea would be to make British buses like those in Bedrock where Fred Flintstone lives. The passengers could get in, lift the bus and start running. This plan is great on two levels: It would encourage exercise, and it would eliminate green-house gasses. Everyone wins!
