I've Got to See it to Believe it!
Yay! I thought they only existed in movies! Who would have thought that window washers actually existed in real life? And that they actually _wash_windows_?! Amazing!
So I was at my desk this morning, staring out the window. You don't often see guys hanging from the sides of buildings, dangling several stories above the ground, suspended from some large metal posts. But there they were. I'd never seen an actual real window-washer before.
Sure, they're in movies and on TV shows all the time. But it's always a plot device to either rescue a person from a bad situation or to allow someone to fall from hundreds of stories above the ground only to be saved at the last instant by some magical forcefield or friendly dog or maybe even the hero of the show. But never do window washers actually wash windows.
Come to think of it, I haven't actually seen these guys washing windows either. They were either on the roof, moving the posts so they could wash a different area, or on the ground, having lowered the platform all the way down. Maybe the neighboring building is actually the on-site location for the newest FOX made-for-TV movie, "When Coders Attack"! Or maybe they're trying to pull off some daylight heist to retrieve some top-secret files from the evil overlord's hidden lair. Or maybe my window isn't a window at all, and is actually a TV, meaning I still haven't seen honest-to-goodness real-life window washers.
But then again, it appears that they're starting to actually wash windows. Maybe that explains the pile of stunned birds.

I have never seen a kangaroo.
You're incredibly deprived. I highly reccomend a trip to the zoo--all the critters get bored anyway, and need to look at someone through the bars.
Do you think the kangaroos would be willing to offer piggy-back rides? Does that not sound like fabulous fun?
I'm not sure, it depends on if it's boxing at the time.
But you would be on it's back....might be cooler if it WAS boxing something.
What's the point of riding a kangaroo if you don't get to ride in the pouch?
I think the kangaroo might be more apt to want to give me a piggyback instead of having to carry yet another thing in their pouch. I think the request for a piggyback would be refreshing for the kangaroo.
But it's cheaper and easier to just use a pogo stick then. Plus, you don't have to worry about the fleas!
Pogo sticks are not furry, though.
That can be fixed.
All I see is a pogo stick covered in shag carpeting-not appealing.
Well, isn't that all a kangaroo is, if you're ignoring the pouch?
You would have to add googley eyes. Big ones. Then I guess....
Not a problem, one on each end of the handle bars.
