Mike Cox's Rep - R.I.P.
I was on my noon lunch break and who did I see strolling through the park but Mike Cox's rep. He's about 5'3, 99 pounds, wearing a white t-shirt that says "I sold my soul to Steve Ballmer", and high water plaid pants. To add insult to injury his cell phone played an annoyingly loud "TAA-DAAAA" whenever it would ring. As luck would have it, a man dressed in a penguin suit was going through the park at the same time, and upon seeing him, Mike Cox's rep pointed at him and screamed "NOO!!! NO!!!!!! Stop following me!!! You're all out to get me!!!!", not realizing that the guy in the penguin suit was just doing a promo for the Chilly Willy DVD Series and taking a break. Trying to contain my laughter, I observed Mike's rep jump onto what suspiciously looked like a late 1970's model big wheel and start furiously pedaling down the bike path away from the penguin, continually yelling "GET AWAY!! GET AWAY!!! GET AWAY!!!"....sadly, Mike's rep wasn't looking where he was going and pedaled out into oncoming traffic...the scene was too much to bear.

So I went into my car and laughed.
