We've been so consistent in this ritual that we have deemed the gal that works there the High Priestess and the last three Sundays she has provided an impromptu sermon. It really is quite fun. I'm sure some would perceive it as blasphemous, but I believe that I am created from the ultimate creative source and if that is true and IT IS, then there is NO WAY that ultimate creative source doesn't have a sense of humor. I am certain a sense of humor is a part of the bigger part of everything.
Anyway, on display at Escape there are several toys and action figures, but there is one in particular that has caught my eye several times. When you're at the register paying for your order you can see a very muscular GI Joe action figure on the back wall. This particular GI Joe is very clearly rather well endowed in the britches. The action figure is usually clothed and that was the case during our most recent visit, however the trousers were down around mid-thigh exposing most of his rather large member.
I brought this partial exposure to the attention of the High Priestess and she said, "Oh he's been up there so long exposing his whole self to the world that I've totally forgotten about him. Nobody seems to care". I didn't really care either, but I just thought they'd wanna know. I wasn't offended because as I said before I believe that a sense of humor is part of the bigger part of everything. If you can't have a laugh at things what are you here for anyway? Right? We're here to have fun and everyone's version of fun is different.
What I thought of in that fleeting moment was this; it is possible that someone may find it offensive for a business to have an anatomically correct partially exposed action figure on display or that someone refers to eating pizza and drinking beer as "going to church", but it may also be offensive to someone else that a person or group of people would approach a complete stranger and try to convince or convert others to "their way" of thinking and living, such as "Follow my religion". Not everything is for everyone and I believe as long as there is no harm being done or intended harm to anyone that we all should respect the rights and privacy of others.
