Ahhh.... such a handsome young man to be stuck in such a humiliating costume.
I feel for you. I used to have to be "Billy Bob" from Showbiz Pizza. (The place turned into Chucky Cheese years ago.) As I was the boss\'s \'FAVORITE\' Billy Bob, I got \'selected\' to wear the costume to the mall for a big \'Safe Halloween\' promotion. I came down with a terrible cold that day, but the boss made me put on the outfit and go hand out goodie bags to all the horrid screaming brats at the mall. No, I don\'t mean the children, I mean the PARENTS! Dear lord! With those furry hands on, I couldn\'t really hold the bags and every time I tried to give one to a little kid who managed to make it to the front of the mob, a horrid adult would reach over and grab it yelling "I got NINE kids! Gimme More!" I really wanted to punch their lights out.
Finally, after four solid hours of this, one can only \'sniffle\' so long. I kept asking for a break and they kept saying "No! There\'s to many kids! When it thins out you can go." I finally told them, "I\'m SICK! If you don\'t get me out of here, I\'m going to rip this stupid head off and all these little kids will be tramatized to find out that Billy Bob is a sweaty little white girl with SNOT running in her MOUTH!!!" They got me out of there.
That was almost 25 years ago. It\'s burned in my memory forever. I will always have the utmost respect for the poor suckers who get stuck in those costumes.
