Air Dancers

There's this Sell Your Gold For Cash store down the road....  They hired this guy to stand by the road (I'm assuming), hold their sign and wave.  That's what this guy does for a living.  Stands and waves.  I see him on my lunch break so I don't know how many hours he does this.. but it just baffles me.    How much would they pay a person to literally...  stand and wave?  Minimum wage?  If I was him.. I'd consider going across the street for employment at Giant Eagle.  He can bag groceries.  That would be like 100% more fun that standing there, facing oncoming traffic and waving.  For.. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 possible hours. 

I know I don't know this guy's situation - AT ALL.  Perhaps he's deaf..  or a mute.  Cannot work with the public.  He might have EXTREME anxiety.  His dad or mum might own the company... and he's in so much trouble... they said they'd bail him out of jail if he would hold their silly sign for them.  He might LOVE doing it, and he does it for free.  He might be a billionaire and he's just trying to give back to society. 

DOUBT IT.


Just crazy.  They should just buy one of those air machine/gumby guy things...  it would get people's attention... and they wouldn't have to pay a human.  I am sure those things are expensive but... still.

I just looked them up.  Air Dancers.  You can get one on Amazon for $50.   

Besides, Mr. Air Dancer would be a HELL of a lot more effective than a 5 foot 10 human, putting in the bare minimum efffort on his wave.  At least put him in a clown suit.... or a big chicken costume.  Get him dancing around.. playing the trumpet.  Now we're talkin'.

So it's mid-March and one of my favorite things to do as a human is.... drive down the road, with the windows down, listening to music.  It's the warmest day of 2015 so far.. in my neck of the woods... and it's something to celebrate. 

Today is a beautiful day.
