Sign Twirlers

I got a phone call from Bethany on Friday about something amazing, something extravagant. She was so excited about this that she had to call me and let me know. To my surprise, she wanted to talk about the "sign twirlers" that were working our local streets. Apparently, these guys are starting legitimate careers as sign twirlers. If you have no idea what these guys do, then be sure and google around for stuff about "sign twirling." Basically, they are human advertisers that hold sings on street corners telling us about local businesses. The guys Bethany was talking about were holding signs for a local Honda dealership. But these were not ordinary sign guys. The normal ones just hold the signs, sometimes dance with them, and pretty much act like they are on an iPod commercial. Not these guys. These were pro's. They can spin the sign like a pizza, go behind the back, and we even saw a guy kick spin the sign from the ground to his hand. My personal favorite move was the guy who was leaning back with one hand on the ground and the other straight up with the sign spinning on his palm. I don't think words can describe this signature move. Needless to say, they are amazing. For the first time we found ourselves wanting to go buy a Honda because we felt they were spending their marketing money wisely with these sign guys. So if you've got good hand-eye coordination and you're looking to make a few extra bucks on the side, maybe a career in sign twirling is just for you!
