Branson, MO. – A senior citizen bus trip from the Days End senior home in Louisville, KY to Branson, Mo, a popular tourist spot in SW Missouri, has caused some trouble for the old folks and a serious run in with the law as well.
As the bus entered Missouri, an elderly woman, Bertha Klump, came up to the driver Cal Fischer complaining about being molested by a man while she was seated in the back row.
The driver knowing the bus was loaded with people who had ages averaged out to about the late 80s felt that the woman had fallen asleep and had a bad dream. So Fischer told her to go back to her seat, and sit down. A short time later, another even older woman comes forward, and through tears, claims that she too was just molested. The driver now thought he had a bus load of old crazies, but wondered who would be molesting those old ladies?
When a third old lady came up and said that she’d been molested, Fischer decided that he’d had enough, phoned the police on his cell phone and pulled into the first rest area. As he turned the interior lights on and stood up from his driver’s seat, he could see an old man on his hands and knees crawling in the aisles.
I simply said, “Hey gramps, what are you doing down there and that’s when the cops came on the bus and saw him too.”
When the officers questioned 92 year old Mel Breverton, the man replied, “First, I lost glasses, then my toupee fell off. I thought I found the toupee three times, but every time I tried to grab it…The darn thing kept running away!”
Breverton was quietly handcuffed and lead to a police transport vehicle, but its departure was slowed by a crowd of the senior grannies who wanted Breverton back on the bus.
