Traveling Tails Gag Request


That's "Request" not "Reflex".

So a friend of mine suggested that I come up with some sort of gag or theme to mark my new travels.

My first thought was that I would hit a Starbucks in every state that I visit and have the barista hold up a hand-written sign indicating the state we are in - the only thing that would change is the sign - get it?!

But . . . . I almost never go to Starbucks . . .

My next idea was that I would buy a shot glass in each airport - take a photo of it filled with . . . . errrr . . . . soda . . . . and then leave the empty shot glass in my next hotel room next to the Gideon Bible (with photo evidence). That way, someone would open the drawer in St. Louis and find a bible and a shot glass from Portland and say W*F?

But then that would mean I would be doing shots in airports at 6am - which I am willing to do for the sake of my "art" but I don't think the wife would go for it.

So I am looking for creative ideas - if your job required you to visit 22 states and 3 provinces of Canada regularly, what gag would you pull?

Have you seen the film "Up in the Air"? I would do that. Make a cardboard cut-out of Annabelle, and take a photo of her at all these really random places where a baby would just typically not be dangling about in true cardboard fashion.

Plus, she's so cute that it would be fun to have that cardboard cut out with you. :)

That's what I would do.
