flippin' n' dippin'....
They’re everywhere you turn. Young men on street corners flipping signs of advertisement in hopes of grabbing your attention. Masters of the board flip. They twirl, they spin, they wrap their boards around their bodies and back into a twirl.
Eye catching? Indeed. However, I have yet to be spurned into buying a mattress, a new home or a car from excitement induced by a “flipper.”
Who thought this was a good idea? How much do they pay these kids to display their skills? Has anyone done a study of the business resulting from a flipper? I’m doubting it.

You make a profound point and observation. Some of these kids are quite talented flippers; but one can hardly but wonder, would better service be rendered from flipping burgers? I notice them. I am very entertained by them. I even wonder why some of them dont have a tip jar. Then I wonder how many lose their sign from a mishap or gust of wind and hit a car passing by. But in the end; I have never pulled into an establishment or bought anything they advertised; yet they are everywhere. One might conclude that surely it works somehow....if no more than raising conscienceness....but is that worth it????
