well, they're polite jackasses...

i witnessed a very burlington scene this afternoon as i was going back to my car on the top deck of the parking garage. a couple of youtsTM were balanced on the rail of the garage, five stories up, and yelling down to passersby on the ground. "if i jump, will you catch me?" real jackass kind of stuff.

what made it a burlington moment is that when the kids decided to hop back down onto terra firma at last, they called down to the people below, "okay! have a nice day!"

and they actually sounded sincere.
