The Quorum of The Mini Bus

"It was about 10:30 a.m. when I got in a mini bus to come to the office. The capacity of the bus is eleven passengers. I was the first. The driver told me that he would move when only seven passengers get in the bus. That was good for me because it means saving time in this hot summer. I was followed by an old man. When he sat on his place he said "let's see. The man said he would move when seven passengers get it." I told him that the driver told me the same thing. The man replied "Yes, we will move when we have quorum." I don't know why I couldn't control myself. I started laughing loudlly. I said "Thanks God its only eleven. If it was like the old buses which carry 40 passangers, It would be a big problem and we will never have quorum." We laughed for seconds and then the dream came true. we were only five men when three women with a kid got in the bus. I told the old man "Now we have quorum and more, we have a high representation of women. Its more than 25% as it's mentioned in the Iraqi constitution." The speaker of the bus (the driver) didn't waste time and he turned on the engine."
