What's this phenomenon of "tossing under the bus"?

[CreekDog]

Apparently it happens quite often, however I don't recall seeing that.

I also wonder how it could be possible considering the most likely candidates for it you wouldn't trust any further than you could throw them.

1. Come to my workplace. You'll see it every 10 minutes or so.

On Mondays, every 30 seconds. x(

And they had the audacity to present us with a survey form hoping to be named one of the best companies in the state to work for. :eyes:

6. It's a reference from the late 70s.

When barbaric fundamentalists would dump rock albums in the street and run them over with a bus. Their focus was usually Rush albums. Not that I'm saying anyone here is like that.

8. Oh?

Maybe they had a good reason to throw them under the bus..I wonder if any sports venue has had "Rush album demolition day". Perhaps the Detroit Red wings....;-)

Am I going to have to put you on Super Whammy Ignore now??

[CreekDog]

10. No fair!

11. That's because you're on hyper-intensive colon-clutching Ignore.

That's when your liver starts to liquefy and your hair falls out and your smilies stop working.
