Started doing some promotional event work downtown today, involving having my face painted blue and pretending to talk on a cell phone. (No, this has nothing to do with Blue Man Group, and no, you're not the first to ask) It's surprisingly exhausting to walk around and talk on the phone for six hours, but the pay is good.
My "character" was a business man, but (within reason) I could really talk about whatever I wanted on the phone. As the day wore on, I eventually just started blurting out brief non-sequitors as people passed.
Examples:
"Unicorns aren't real. He's lying to you."
"Jodie was hit by lightening. She'll be out of the office all week."
"He's allergic to satellite radio."
"Why doesn't Trevor know how to use the fax machine? He's been with us for four months."
"It's illegal to own a tiger. And it's not safe."
