Request and Safe Bank

Showing up to say my fill. That's not much, but it's enough.

Yo.

I need all of you to do something for me. Go to the store and look at the price of beef. Then go look at the price of soybeans. Don't memorize the prices and don't tell them to me. Just look at them for a while. Make a face while you're doing it. The stranger the face you make, the better this will work. Try to look like an owl at the beef and a monkey at the soybeans. Then start making funny noises.

Or, as alternative options have been mentioned for other things, dance for a few minutes. It doesn't matter where. Dance alone. Dance with someone. Just dance. "Even if you have nothing to dance to but a spoken word novelty song backed by a generic techno track that sounds kind of like Enya but without the edge."* Try not to do anything too structured; this is to have fun.

*This is a line from the Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie (spoken word novelty) song (backed by...yeah), "The Sunscreen Marketing Board". Look them up. If you can find their "Safe Bank!" skit, you will be well rewarded with laughter. But why make you look these up when I can find them?

The rest of the video is okay, too, but the Safe Bank skit is 3:17 into it. Other than that, I couldn't find the skits I searched for on YouTube. If you have another source for these things, search for Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie.
