What's up , how are you ?   I'm splendid . How about yourself ?   Could be better .   So , have you been on the bus very long ?   I got on about fifteen minutes ago .   How often do you ride the bus ?   I usually just drive .   You have your own vehicle ?   Yes , I have my own car .   So then , why don't you drive it ?   I'm waiting for our President to lower the gas prices .
