Bizarro Lawton, OK (BP)- Motorists were perplexed and upset Monday morning by a PIzza Hut employee twirling a large cardboard arrow outside of a strip mall.
"He had the arrow flying all over the place!" shouted bewildered driver Ashley Wilks. "You couldn't read the sign, but you could see pizza. But the arrow was pointing every which way, so I didn't know where the pizza was!"
The sign announced a free order of cinnamon sticks with an order of two large, two-topping pizzas. The Pizza Hut is located about fifty yards from the sidewalk in the parking lot of Lawton Shop-More Center.
A crowd soon assembled around the gyrating young man, desperately following the tip of the arrow as it spun around his legs and over his shoulder. One elderly bystander injured his neck when the sign was spun into the air like a baton.
"Jesus Christ, I just want to know where the damn pizza is!" screamed a hysterical man as he searched the skies for some kind of flying Pizza Hut.
Lawton Police soon arrived and directed the terrified throng to the restaurant they were seeking. Human signpost Jaime Francisco explains why he didn't take the obvious step of clearing up their confusion himself.
"When I get into rhythm, it takes over my body. The sign is me, and I am the sign," explained Francisco, a member of the Guild of Human Signage Professionals. "It doesn't pay well, sure. But I don't do it for the money. I do it for the love of the art. And to prove to my father that my degree in interpretive dance isn't 'useless.'"
