Getaway bus

A few days ago I saw a tour bus pulled over to the side of the road on I5. On the side of the bus was the word "Getaway." I guess it was getting a speeding ticket. I felt sorry for the poor tourists who were have their fantasy vacation to south Puget Sound interrupted by this run in with the law. Then I thought, maybe the cop misunderstood and thought the bus was making a getaway from a crime. Maybe it was!

They would need to be pretty dumb criminals to label their getaway vehicle like that though. I guess I'll never know.
