Running for the last bus

There was this dedicated computer engineer, who used to sit and work really late. He'd got into the habit of catching the last bus home. Often, he used to almost miss it, and had to run really fast to the bus stop to catch it.

Now, one fine day, the timings for the last bus were changed.

Our man, being a dedicated engineer, forgot about this change. So, one night, he ran out as usual to the bus stop. When he reached there--no bus.

"Rats!" he muttered. "I've lost connectivity to the bus because of a run-time error."

The next day, he came to work in running shoes instead of his usual sandals.

"After all," he mused, "re-booting is known to fix run-time errors."
