Apparently, the government is now going to be recording everything that happens on all city buses from now on, all in the name of security. They already have so much data, intel, recordings, etc., they can’t keep track of it anymore, so why not pile it on? But just to make it more fun for them, why don’t we all agree to sing the children’s song “The Wheels on the Bus” together over and over again for the entire time we ride buses from now on? You know, just to show them how much we appreciate all the great stuff our Big Brother is doing for us.
BTW: Another song they might enjoy is “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall”. Everybody loves to hear that one as much as possible, right? Or we could always try to intrigue the eavesdroppers with suspicious-sounding phrases like: “That vest is the bomb!”, or “Those shoes are on fire!”, or “I can’t wait for the new Massive Attack!” (<That’s a music group.)
