Now my stupidest job that arguably passed as show biz was senior year in high school when I worked for a company that supplied cartoon characters to car dealerships in the southland to stand outside and wave at passing cars and occasionally play with kids on the lot. I typically dressed as Spider Man. Except of course, this guy didn't have the rights to any of his characters, so I was called "Web Man." A typical conversation would go:
Boss: "Hey, kids, come meet Web Man."
Kids: "Hi, Spiderman."
Boss: "No, no, kids. This is Web Man."
Kids: "Huh?"
The job was mostly lame, although I did get mooned and flashed a lot, and once I got to be Crazy Rabbit at the Special Olympics, which was cool except I nearly passed out in the costume.
