Fishing for Funkmaster Flex at the Aquarium...

..because sometime the truth is so much better than fiction.

Alright, so my day is winding down at the Aquarium. I made a good number of sales at my cashier station, considering it was a relatively quiet day (good weather=people have better things to do with their time than patronize the local aqaurium). I go to my boss' office where I hope to be cashed out for the day and go home. In the middle of counting my twenty dollar bills my boss gets a call. It's from a nice guy who works in Imax named Davi (we take the train together occasionally). The phone conversation went something like this:

Davi: "Kent?"
Kent: "Yeah?"
Davi: "I'd just like to tell you that Funkmaster Flex is in the building."
Kent: "WHAAAAT?!?"

I'd like to note at this point that I had no idea, I mean absolutely no idea who Funkmaster Flex is. now, this might be because of the fact that I'm a white man. I mean really white. Caucasian.

What followed was perhaps the most ridiculous game of hide and seek I have ever played in my entire life. I can honestly say, with the most sincere conviction, that I will never again spend 30 minutes with my bos running through an aquarium looking for a famous DJ. I mean, it might happen, but I really don't think so.

Now, I chose the above picture (for all of my culturally unaware readers, that's a picture of Funkmaster Flex, not my boss. That said, I kind of wish my boss was Funkmaster Flex), specifically because it made Funkmaster Flex look like a magician. There was undoubtedly a bit of magic involved in this little accident, and I can't help but believe that Funkmaster Flex might be a magician, or at least a wizard. You see, my boss and I scoured the aquarium from front to back 3 times. That's THREE times, with the Funkmaster never to be found. Everyone at the Imax entrance, which is on the opposite side of the building from where I was working, said they had seen him just moments before, and the excitement was palpable. You could smell it in the air. It might have just been the seals, though. They do smell Funky.
