Is There A Bathroom On This Bus?

The year is 1997 and I'm in Cincinnati for one of my closest friends bachelor party. My buddy's brother set the entire party up and the first thing we were doing was going to a casino in Rising Sun, Indiana (This place was between Peducah, Kentucky and Hell) and it was supposed to be 45 minutes away. There was a school bus waiting for about 40 of us in front of another buddy's house. Everyone is fired up. Most of the fellas had been drinking for about an hour before this bus arrived. Every man boarding the bus had a beer in their hand with another 6 cases of beer being loaded on.  Off we go.  The bus ride is loud and raucous as to be expected. We're knocking down the beers at a feverish pace. We hit the 45 minute mark and no casino in site. The bus driver tells us another 25 minutes. Yeesh!! Oh well, just more drinking on the bus. Well, about 10 more minutes go by and the bus is dead silent. I mean you could hear a pin drop. Was there a mute button on this party? Did something happen that caused this silence? Yes, something did happen. Everybody's bladder was maxed out. We all had to go to the bathroom. BADLY!!!!!  Looking around you could see anguish on everyone's face. Even my one buddy who could basically drink a lake without it affecting him, was leaning against the bus window in major pain. At one point, I was thinking "If we don't get to this damn casino soon, there's going to be a massive accident on the inside of this bus and someone's not getting their security deposit back!"  Finally the bus pulls into the casino and pulls up curbside by the main entrance. A woman from the casino boards the bus and starts to tell us about the amenities of the casino. Are you kidding me? We have 35 men that are in agony, 5 that have passed out from the pain and this woman is telling us what kind of cheese there is on the bad buffet! All of a sudden our buddy's brother who was in charge of this party gets up and say "SHIT LADY, I GOTTA PEE LIKE RACEHORSE. GET OUT OF MY FUCKIN' WAY!"  He all but shoves her into a nearby seat and runs off the bus. The rest of us follow his lead and get off the bus as fast as we can.  We all survived and had a great time but realize next time we either step up and get a bus with a bathroom or find a casino that is a hell of a lot closer!
