Anti-boredom Theory

Driving a taxi all day can be boring sometimes. Some days, no matter how hard you try, you never get anyone interesting and/or stupid to poke fun at. For this reason, I’ve opted to start a new game.

It’s name, you ask? “The Game I Play To Make My Day Go By Quicker When No One Smart Or Stupid Comes Along.” Sure, it’s not a catchy name, but who cares.

Basic idea is, every morning before I mount up and move out, I check Dictionary.Com’s “Word of the Day” (ClickClick) and, at some point during the day, I will endevour to slip this word in to a conversation with a customer. Then, obviously, I will pop the resulting conversation up here.

First up:

perambulate \puh-RAM-byuh-layt\ , intransitive verb;

1.

To walk about; to roam; to stroll; as, “he perambulated in the park.”

transitive verb:

1.

To walk through or over.

2.

To travel over for the purpose of surveying or inspecting.
