Well,
this story in the
New York Times isn't funny, because there's a guy out of work. But there are lots of interesting parts. Did you know, for example, that there is something called "Pretty Woman Syndrome"? The movie PRETTY WOMAN made "some shoppers hesitant to enter upscale stores, afraid of being humiliated by snooty sales clerks." So they hired this guy to stand on the sidewalk in
Beverly Hills and shout encouragement to people! Now they've let him go. But here's the main thing: he used to be
Bob Hope's personal valet! I think someone will give him a new job. He seems to have a lot of spirit.
