You should get one of the guy who sells StreetWise in front of the Board of Trade. He doesn't sell the papers, exactly, so much as he kind of dances about them. He's got this elaborate shuffle he does, and to keep himself entertained he'll kinda latch onto a phrase and vary it for each person he's trying to sell to. The other day as I passed him he thrust a paper at me and said "Rum-pa-pum-PUM?" I'm pretty sure he crossed the threshold into high art quite some time ago.
