Horse-drawn carriages
Hey Post,
I just got in from visiting some family of mine out in Evanston. On my way back, I was waiting at a bus stop and -- no joke -- 10 horse-drawn carriages passed by me. Maybe even more.
That in and of itself isn't too crazy, but consider this: on the back of each one was a small sign for the Chicago horse-drawn carriage company that managed the horse/carriage/driver combination.
But every single horse/carriage/driver combination was virtually the same.
How the fuck do companies think this is a smart business move? Now, I'm no connoisseur of horse-drawn carriages (as you probably could have guessed), but jeez, have some imagination! Grow some balls!
I'd much rather get into a carriage with an aspiring comedian driver. Or maybe a former racehorse pulling me. Hell, if they painted/modded my carriage to look like a classic car, that would be cool! I'd be excited!
But no. It's just the same goddamn carriage, again and again.
