Dancing Signs...

.Is this country dance crazy or what? "Dancing with the Stars", "So You Think You Can Dance", "Dancing With Your Mom", "So You Think Your Dog Can Dance"...the list goes on and on. You can't change the channel without some long legged blonde doing a backbend & cleaving her cleavage right into your living room...not that there's anything wrong with that. And the guys...there are more tight asses than a Boca old folks home. Not that I was noticing or anything...

 But what I am noticing more & more are the...dancing signs. These are the people on street corners who are using large signs to get you to buy their products or services. What genius who ever thought a dancing sign would get me to buy a condo is anybodies guess. Here's some of what I've seen lately:

1. A very demented looking Superman doing MC Hammer dance routines to sell Verizon Wireless.

2. A very Mexican looking Captain America selling T-Mobile. They couldn't maybe find an actual...American?

3. Statue of Liberty tax girls. Nothing gets me to do my taxes faster than some bored goth chick with a torch.

4. Batman oil change. Robin...check that tire pressure & get Alfred on those windshield wipers!

5. The KB Homes dancing person. I have seen many varieties of these sunburned guys & gals doing everything from solo line dances to the pogo. Short, fat, tall, skinny, black, white...KB Homes shows no discrimination in their effort to get you to buy a home because a bouncing sign pointed the way.

 Who...are...these...people, Elaine? Are there no better jobs than dancing on the corner as Shrek in 95 degree heat? Doesn't McDonald's pay better than trying to sell pizza dressed as Flash?  Do they advertise these jobs in the backs of comic books? Can you really make a living as a Dancing Taco?

 About the only time I pay attention is when those sweet teenagers in bikinis from our local high school are doing their annual car wash...and that's only because I am all about the children. And the homeless guys with the cardboard signs...at least there's somebody in this economy that I'm doing better than....
