Fun Facts: In the 6/2/98 issue of Soap Opera Digest Scott was asked what his favorite joke was. This is what he answered: One guy goes over to apply for a job as a bus driver. The second guy says, "You don't want this job, it's too weird." The first guy says, "But I need this job." Second guy says, "Okay. Your bus has Sesame Street characters painted on it. Here's your route." At the first stop, two huge girls get on. One says, "My name is Patty." Second one says, "My name is Patty." Next stop, a boy gets on, saying, "I'm Ross, but everyone calls me Special Ross." Next stop a kid gets on and says, "Hey, I'm Lester G. I'll be sitting right behind you." Ten minutes later, the driver smells something awful and turns to see Lester G. with his shoes and socks off, picking at a bunion. The driver drops the kids off at school, goes back to the bus yard and says, "I quit! This is too weird. Ya got me driving two obese Patty's, Special Ross, Lester G. picking bunions on a Sesame Street bus!" |
