@mathreadler: I mean, it's not a question of "believing". People have eyes and ears. Just object loudly enough and they'll see/hear/remember the order of events. But if everyone
else on the bus is
also going to play idiot in your hypothetical scenario, then you're deliberately setting me up for failure. There's nothing anyone could say or
not say that would guarantee any kind of result. Heck, you never know if someone on the bus might decide to just come lynch you either. At that point, committing suicide would be the only way to guarantee you won't have to deal with more crap on Earth. —
