Reisen im Bus
Als ich eben eine Reservierungsanfrage zwecks Fahrradmitnahme an das irische Busunternehmen “Dublin Bus“, das mich vom Flughafen in die Stadt bringen soll, stellte, traf ich auf die Bestimmungen für Reisen in deren Bussen. Meine Lieblings-Zitate:
-
No passenger who, in the opinion of an authorised person, is in a state of intoxication or otherwise in an unfit or improper condition shall board or remain on the vehicle.
No person shall spit in or from the vehicle.
No person shall smoke or carry a lighted pipe, cigarette, cigar or cheroot in any vehicle or part of the vehicle.
No person shall throw or trail from the vehicle or throw at the vehicle any article or thing whatsoever.
No person shall at any time while on the vehicle use any threatening, abusive or offensive language.
Ich bin froh, in so ein ordentliches Land reisen zu dürfen! 
Ach und was ist ein/e “cheroot“?!?
Google weiß das natürlich: http://www.google.de/search?q=cheroot

CHEROOT, or SHEROOT (from the Tamil word shuruttu, a roll), a cigar made from tobacco grown in southern India and the Philippine Islands. It was once esteemed very highly for its delicate flavour. A cheroot differs from other cigars in having both ends cut square, instead of one being pointed, and one end considerably larger than the other.
Danke für den Hinweis!
