I know. What do these two have in common? Stay with me.
Both of these scenarios got me thinking of a piece we did five years ago. Our message series was called "The US Male." Get it? Anyway, the original idea was that all of our senior staff would come out dressed as postal workers and do a little stupid dance. Well, everyone backed out, and my pastor says, "Hey man, you're funny...you do it."
So I did it. Except I did it on video. It was, like, 167 degrees that day (evidenced by the huge amount of sweat seen in some of the shots).
A couple of funny things about this shoot, apart from the heat:
1. I had a guy was sitting in the middle of the road in his truck, playing this song over and over for me to dance to. I'm sure the neighbors were wondering what the H-E-double-hockey-sticks was going on! I literally had a piece of paper and a golf pencil in my pocket. As I would do one dance, we'd stop tape, I'd pull out the paper and pencil, and cross it off, then move on to the next dance. Efficiency, you know...
2. We saw an actual postal worker out there. Now, I know the USPS is a little weird about their stuff, and I was worried we'd (I'd) get in trouble, but he just looked at me, smiled and gave me the "what's up?" chin lift. All good in the hood.
Anyway, here's the vid. I've lost weight since then. Hope you enjoy it!

Just glad you haven't lost your moves. You still got it, baby.
I miss you guys so much!! Thanks for the laugh
You're a Classic, Rich. My kids always gather round when I say the "eyebrow guy" has another vid. Keep on a rockin' it baby!
As a real postman, I find this very funny. Only thing that would have made it better is the real uniform and a mailtruck.
