Blame

Some people's blameless lives are to blame for a good deal.

Dorothy L. Sayers

When you want to put all the blame on someone else, you throw them under the bus.  Right?  Why?  Why a bus?

Why not throw them under the train?  Or the tractor?  Or the sleigh?  I mean it would be bad to be run over by any of those, right?  A van.  I had my arm run over by a sled once.  That hurt, too.  And I'm not being symbolic.  I'm being literal.  I literally  had my arm run over by the runner of a sled.  It literally hurt.

I think it would particularly awful to be thrown under the bandwagon.  Because everyone is JUMPING on that thing.
