Cindy: Don’t Stop For Jiffy Lube Signs

On Facebook, Cindy asks: "Do those guys waving the signs out in front of Jiffy Lube, honestly think I'm going to think 'Oh, my gosh! I need an oil change, right now!'" To which Digger responds: "I wonder the same thing about the dancing shampoo bottle in front of Great Clips or the dancing printer in front of Cartridge World." To which Cindy re-responds: "I'm just glad the freaky Statue of Liberty is gone. Btw, the Little Caesar dude scares me. Really."

Question: I remember the guy in the chicken suit who tried to entice drivers to stop at that small restaurant across Northwest Boulevard, by the Coeur d'Alene Skate Park. I never stopped. Or even walked across the street. Mebbe that's why the guy went out of business. Have you ever stopped at a business as a result of someone standing near the street in a costume with a sign?
