This song is one of my favourites and this version by an Australian shadow puppeteer guesting on the David Letterman show is unbelievable. The baby's hand brought tears to my eyes.(via Reddit)
I've had a few different jobs in my life. One of my favourites was my college summer job where I visited various small towns around Saskatchewan as a traveling cable TV salesman. (Yes, I know a “vacuum cleaner salesman” joke just popped in your head. Don't bother – I've heard it.)But this job was different […]
