The principal-agent problem

Scene 1

Catrin enters the bus. She takes out her wallet and searches for her booklet of bus tickets.

BUS DRIVER 1: Are you looking for your bus pass?

CATRIN: (stupidly honest) No, I don't have a bus pass. I am looking for my booklet of bus tickets.

She rummages through her wallet some more, finally gives up and takes out a two dollar coin.

CATRIN: Here...

BUS DRIVER 1: (pushing her hand back) No, don't worry about it.

Scene 2

Catrin enters the bus, attempting to take out her wallet.

BUS DRIVER 2: Don't worry about it.

He waves her through.

Scene 3

Catrin enters the bus fully aware that she does not have a bus ticket. She takes out a handful of exactly counted out change and attempts to throw it in the box.

BUS DRIVER 3: No, don't even....

He pushes her hand back and gives her a transfer.



This all happened within one week. I would also like to assure you that I was fully dressed in all cases and that no sexual favours were exchanged during the above conversations.
