Here's a scenario for you Lorna ...Lorna wrote:I basically try to maintain a somewhat upbeat attitude mainly for the purpose of whenever comedy shows come around
Yesterday I was in a major car dealership to talk with some people about a gig ... I couldn't help but notice the obvious predatory behaviour of the salescritters ...
the "salesroom" was elevated approx 5 feet above the lot level, the windows all tinted and shielded with roof overhang, and the interior was dimmed, much like an Air Traffic Control tower ...
the salescritters were obviously "on duty" ... their eyes were continuously darting around the 270 degree horizon covering all dealership entrances, all areas of all the carlot sections, and all service reception areas
there is no possible way a "carlooker" could have come within 100 yards of the dealership without being "lined up" by one of the "hunters" ...
of course, the really smooth salescritters will have all the moves down and it will seem to the "carlooker" that the "hunter" just happened to be nearby" when their eyes started to focus on a particular vehicle for more than approx 3 seconds (just enough for a quick intro comment) "Nice colour eh?", and a followup qualifying question "Do you like 4x4s?", leading to the first "close" attempt for the encounter "Are you buying a car today?" ... all of course which happens before the "carlooker" can turn around to see who his/her New "Best Friend" is ...

So I got to figuring, what if we borrow a few pages from The Wild Kingdom, and ER ... Thinking Outside The Box as it were ...
Imagine Car Dealership Sniper SharpShooters in a RoofTop Bunker ... armed with LaserScopedTranquilizer Guns ... as soon as a "carlooker" starts to focus on a particular unit ... it doesn't matter whether or not they're out of their own vehicle yet as long as a window is mostly open ... as long as the Sniper can get a clear shot to some human tissue ...
BANG ... the "carlooker" takes the hit and stops "deadlike'', paralyzed ... within split-seconds, an Emergency Response Team blankets the scene and the "carlooker" is immediately connected with life support systems and laid on a stretcher to be wheeled into a recovery room where "specialty teams" will start preparations for the "reawakening" of the happy, but teenie bit Groggy, "New Car Buyer" ...
Like magic, there's no real pain, and no difficult decisions for the "carlooker" to concern themselves with once they've made the first and most difficult decision to "look" at a new car ...

A good "standup" should get at least 1 giggle out of this scenario ... NO ???
