    Georgia commuter bus driver stabbed with pen

    KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) — Georgia authorities say a commuter bus driver is recovering after being stabbed repeatedly with a pen when he tried to break up a fight between passengers that involved a dispute over a cell phone.

    Police say the melee on the Cobb County Transit bus occurred Monday afternoon in Kennesaw, about 25 miles northwest of Atlanta.

    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/xIVojx) that the driver went to the back of the bus to keep the quarrel from escalating, and a woman pulled a knife.

    Authorities say other passengers were able to get the knife away from the woman, but police say she grabbed a pen from the bus driver's pocket and stabbed him several times.

    The bus driver's condition was not immediately known.

        Hell yeah I went to Mardi Gras!! Never miss it. Didn't go to the one in N'awlins though. There was an enormous parade (Krewe of Krewes) yesterday (Fat Tuesday). I drank a few shots of my fav, Patron, while some broad flashed her boobs at the floats. Fine family fun for all! =)

      So why is this Odd News? It should be in the Crime section, because that's what it is

        You don't think being stabbed repeatedly with a pen is odd?

        Guess again? What does that even mean? Why would I "guess again" on a statement clearly meant as a pop culture joke (you know, Joe Pesci's pen stabbing scene from Casino).

      This should not be in the usually lighthearted "Odd" section.

      If only all of the fat, red light-running Chicago CTA bus drivers would get stabbed with samurai swords.
