Interesting story.

OK, so this guy's name is Greg. I actually worked with him at Pier 39 back in high school. He was a bush-man back then too.

We worked at this place called Studio 39 that did green screen magic carpet rides around San Francisco. You filmed a 3 minute movie, and then we sold it to you. Great job actually. Lots of fun and got to meet people from all over the world. I worked there my last two years of high school.

Back to Greg, well one day Greg called in sick. He found someone else to work for him, which was our policy. So that was all fine and good. Later that day, however, the big boss was out for a walk and who should come out of the bushes? Oh it's Greg. Turns out he made more money bush-manning than working at the Studio (we made $12/hour).

He was fired on the spot.

I last saw Greg in April of 2007, still bush-manning. A homeless guy tried to pick a fight with him and Greg pulled a knife. I watched this unfold while waiting in line at GameStop to get a Wii. I got the Wii, I didn't say "hi" to Greg.
