“Funny Story” Starring a Mannequin

(Note: I Google searched “mannequin” and received nothing but really awkward mannequin pictures.  So to make up for it, I included a picture of Jack’s Mannequin’s album, Everything in Transit. It’s a very good album.)

Funny story. (scratches upper lip)

I was on my way back from picking up the office mail at the post office yesterday morning when I came across something very peculiar.  On Main Street, in between my place of employment and the downtown post office, is Universal Athletic Service, a sports store that has been for quite a while.  They usually have a mannequin decked out in Cats gear from head to toe in the front window, perhaps thinking that Cats gear is something desirable.  I don’t get it, either.

Anyway, one of the gals who works at UAS was in the front window re-outfitting the mannequin.  Sounds harmless, right?  Well, it wasn’t.  It looked pretty damn weird.  When I walked past the window, she was on her knees with the male mannequin facing her, giving Main Street a good view of his backside.  At the moment I walked by, she was, like I said, on her knees with the male mannequin facing her with his pants around his knees, making it look–however briefly–like she was servicing the poor mannequin.  I looked at her with what I’m sure was a shit-eating grin on my face, made eye contact, and then walked off.

I’m positive she could have read my lips when I said, “Wow, that looks really awkward.”  I chuckled about it for the rest of the day.

Anyway, do any of you like movies about gladiators?
