Shooting ping pong balls from afar? Meh. Knocking a can off of someone’s head? Pfff. Messing around with syringes? Yawn. Internet, The Great One is not impressed with them measly trick shots.

You’re rushing down the road, distracted by whatever it is you’re not supposed to do while driving, when all of a sudden, a man darts out of nowhere in front of you. What do you do?

Is this waiter extremely skilled, or is he just really lazy? Are there no serving trays in this restaurant? Are his co-workers ever tempted to trip the guy? We have so many questions.

Our dogs would sooner take a finger off than let you put a pile of treats on their noses. Not so for this guy, who has the patience (and balance) of a saint. You dropped a few there at the end, dude.

Maybe the whole Pied Piper story had a bit of truth to it, as is evidenced by the crowd of bovines who gather round for a Dixieland jazz performance by The New Hot 5. Next time, start marching.
