TEL AVIV, ISRAEL— His nerves shot, Tel Aviv bus driver Yehuda Ben-Zvi said Monday that he wants a "really big" raise. "I'm sorry, but 20 lousy sheqels an hour to drive a bus in this country just doesn't cut it," said Ben-Zvi, 44, nervously scanning each person boarding his bus. "If they don't up me to at least 100 [sheqels] an hour, I'm outta here." Added Ben-Zvi: "Shit, it's not like I've got some deep commitment to providing public transportation. People can walk."

Is this the bus driver who has survived 4 or more attacks? He proabably deserves a raise.

20 NIS = $4.10.

Honestly this is my first post here. The Onion's P.E. article made me ROTFALMBO. It's not in very good taste though......

You all have a great sense of humor.....
