The story goes that sometime in the 70s or maybe the 90s, a CIA manager was dissatisfied with one of his staffers - overpaid, overweight and underperforming. So he lured him to Yosemite and had him thrown to the wolves, who promptly died of massive cholesterol poisoning, thus infuriating the park rangers.

The rest of his staffers decided against throwing the manager to the park rangers, who wouldn't eat him anyway - they threw him under a bus… which promptly died of massive cholesterol poisoning; overpaid, overweight and underperforming managers are not a bus' standard diet.

I sat at Maungatapu shopping centre's bus stop for an hour-and-a-half, from 2-3.30pm last Friday (February 8), before ringing a family member to pick me up and wondering which Bayhopper manager had been thrown under the Cross Town bus for it to have become so quickly extinct.

Does anyone have any idea?
