I think I found what I want my next job to be

So I was on my way to work today, when as I was nearing the airport, I saw signs saying that the road was under construction, and there was a 1-lane road ahead. Nothing new, as they've been expanding the airport, and upgrading the roads. Last year, we became a very European-type town, as they installed a traffic circle (or a roundabout) at the entrance of the airport. Anyways, I approach the car who was heading up the line of cars in our lane, waiting for the sign guy to turn the sign so we could go. I watch the cars going in the opposite direction when I see the lead car, a white truck, do a U-turn in front of the pack, and get in front of the car who was leading our lane. On top of the truck was a yellow flashing light, and on the tailgate was a sign that said "Escort Truck". The purpose of this truck was to lead the line of cars down the one lane, past the construction equipment, to the safety of where the road resumed 2 lanes of traffic. I've never seen anything like this before. Every other time I've seen sign people use the STOP and SLOW signs, they usually would just turn the sign letting you know its cool to go, and if you caught them on a good day, they might even wave their arms a bit, like a 3rd base coach waving a runner home...only not as enthusiastically. Seriously, how easy of a job would that be? Lead a line of cars about a quarter-mile down the road, then pull a LEGAL u-turn and proceed back with a new line? The only thing you'd have to worry about is making sure you don't cut the u-turn too wide, and accidentally hit the guy holding the sign. Where can I sign up?

Some random questions to ponder over the weekend:

1.) Why is Brooke Shields famous? I understand that she may have been a popular actress of some sorts when she was a kid, but other than marrying/divorcing Andre Agassi, and having post-partum (spelling?) depression which caused a spat with Tom Cruise, what has she done to help her keep "famous"? As long as I can remember she's been famous, and I sort of just accepted it, but last night I wondered "why?" You may be wondering where this came from, well last night Sara and I were watching TV and a commercial for some acne medicine came on, and bragged about how famous people like Jessica Simpson, P. Diddy, and..Brooke Shields endorse it. It just made me wonder why her endorsing it was a big deal.

2.) Am I the only person who wants to see Snakes on a Plane? The fact that Sam. L. Jackson is in it makes me want to see it. I know it is probably going to be bad, but is that a bad thing if you go in expecting it to be that way? I've always been a fan of Sam. L. Jackson since the time I saw a preview for his movie 'Shaft' way back when, and in the commercial he declaired "It's my duty to please your booty". Priceless.

3.) Is this the Tigers year? I've got a feeling this could be a special year for them. Then again, its been 19 years since they've made the playoffs, so I don't really remember what a playoff season is like for the Tigers.
