BERLIN - A German bus driver threatened to throw a 20-year-old sales clerk
off his bus in the southern town of Lindau because he said she was too sexy, a
newspaper reported Monday.

"Suddenly he stopped the bus," the
woman named Debora C. told Bild newspaper. "He opened the door and shouted at me
'Your cleavage is distracting me every time I look into my mirror and I can't
concentrate on the traffic. If you don't sit somewhere else, I'm going to have
to throw you off the bus.'"
The woman, pictured in Bild wearing her snug-fitting summer clothes with the
plunging neckline, said she moved to another seat but was humiliated by the bus
driver.
A spokesman for the bus company defended the driver.
"The bus driver is allowed to do that and he did the right thing," the
spokesman said. "A bus driver cannot be distracted because it's a danger to the
safety of all the passengers."
