Yes folks, I don't live under a rock, I know that "riding the short bus" is generally used to imply someone is stupid/retarded. Since in most cases handicapped busses are shorter than regular busses, and [sarcasm] of course handicapped people are stupider than regular people. [/sarcasm]

I'm actually kind of insulted that some of you didn't think I knew that, but I'm weird like that. Please assume I have knowledge unless I say otherwise :P

Well, I remember at least one guy riding on the bus with the wheelchair kid at high school. He was in the Special Ed classes, but he wasn't disabled so far as I could tell. Walked a little funny, but that's it. I just assumed he rode the short bus because he would get made fun of on the regular bus.
