Today's Lesson

Today's lesson is on how to pack something. The students? A can of sardines. The teacher? Korean bus drivers. Let the open of mind and pliable of spirit take heed to what is taught here.

The lesson is thus: there is always room for one more. Not sometimes, not "How many more people can reasonably fit on this bus?" but always. The thought "Man, this is so full I can barely breathe without pushing someone out the window" must never come to your mind. People on the steps, people missing their stops because they can't make it to the door, forgetting what the concept of oxygen is - all characteristics, grasshopper, of a well packed bus.

If you're turning people away, though, it's obviously not packed well enough. If you study and work hard, you too shall hopefully attain to such space efficiency consciousness. One day, the students shall surpass the master and all will be made known.

Say it with me now: "There is always room for one more."

Well done.

Today's lesson is complete.
