"Excuse me, could you tell me where this bus goes?"

"You're on the 'that way' bus, mate."

"Yes, but which route does it take?"

"Well, it starts off smooth, then things can get a bit rocky. After a few twists and turns you'll either hit or dodge a mammoth bump."

"Seriously?"

"Oh aye, but you'll end up back on track. If you keep your head up."

"Aren't you going to tell me where it leads?"

"It's your choice. But if you ask me, I'd stay on for as long as you can. It's all about the experience."

"Do you even know where you're going?"

"Me? I'm on it for the ride, never mind where I might end up."

"You reckon it's better to stay on then?"

"Course. The crack is that you never know which way is where, or how far it is from here, to there. It's mostly guesswork."

"But what if the time comes for me to get off and I feel like I'm going to fall?"

"As long as you hold on, you'll be alright."

"Then I think I'll stay right where I am. Thanks very much for the advice."

"Not a worry mate. Now buckle your seat belt, you're in for a memorable journey..."

"Magic."
