    Best Barf Bag

    Pro tip: Driving the bus in a ski town taking the drunks home after the bars close. We were issued nice parkas. About mid night the trick was to put on your parka, turn the heaters off in the back of the bus. The warmer it is the more people want to barf. If someone barfed in your bus...
