If you've never been to Adelaide before, you're missing out! Here, the bus tickets have inspirational sayings printed on them.

You know how exciting it is when you walk past a church and there's a big sign out front saying something like, "The most important vitamin for Christians: B1". Well in Adelaide it's like that every time you buy a bus ticket. Except multiplied by three because that's how many pithy little sayings you get on each tiny little ticket.

It's like a fortune cookie but without the horrible cookie bit.

Here are some of the life-improving messages I have found on my bus tickets recently:

• To know one's ignorance is part of knowledge. (Definitely relevant to my recent exams, where I demonstrated mastery of the ignorance.)
• You'll never get rid of a bad temper by losing it. (Because your mum wrote your name on the label.)
  
• Every ending is a new beginning. (Confirmation of the Oscillating Universe cosmology theory?)
  
• Insert this way. (Always a good rule to follow.)
  
• Nothing makes people go into debt like trying to keep up with people who already are. (Adelaide Metro foresees the subprime mortgage crisis years in advance.)
  

If you've read anything profound on a bus ticket, fortune cookie, or church billboard, I'd like to hear about it!
