New business model

This is a new concept in Wellington, where we have only ever known pay-to-use bus shelters. Naturally the commuters are pleased. Still, we should spare a thought for the people who have been made redundant. Many of them have spent their entire lives as bus-shelter attendants and they will find it hard to retrain for new careers.

Hamish Mack said...

sheltera is the genus name for bus shelters, actually.

Smut Clyde said...

Third-declension neuter plural of "sheltus".

Hamish Mack said...

Quick Moriarty adjust your declensions, we must flee!

I'm sure they could get retrained as bathroom attendants.

mikey said...

Huh. The bus stop in front of my house is just a signpost in the sidewalk. Kind of a Sheltera Fuckyousis...

I normally expect more privacy at a comfort station, but I will poop where directed I guess.

tigris said...

This is all very nice, but where are the seals they are directing people to take? If they've run out before the shelter has even been finished that shows pretty poor planning.

Hamish Mack said...

Seals work for fish, I've heard. I think he did not want to share them with anyone.

Smut Clyde said...

NZ is not a nation of slurries or aquatic furries or whatever, tigris. No seal fetishists here. Also that's just ice-cream.

tigris said...

I think seals would still make one a furry. So, what then, woolies?

Substance McGravitas said...

A wooly.

Hamish Mack said...

That person in the bus shelter is not making much progress on his work, is he? Just sayin' that I don't think it's very efficient.

Smut Clyde said...

A wooly.
That ram knows he is being tricked somehow.
