Boomerang Park

Mark then took us to an open park/field to show off his supreme boomerang skills.  He gave us a brief introduction and instruction which I am sure will be injected into somebodies project.  We then took turns throwing the boomerang, and I was the third one to volunteer.  I wasn’t exactly nervous, but when you are in front of ten other girls—without sounding too sexist—there is a certain expectation for a guy to at least throw better than them.  I’m miserable with a Frisbee, so I didn’t know if my general lack of skill applied here.  To my own immense surprise… it seriously launched and came back!  It didn’t come back close to me, but both times I threw it, the boomerang certainly soared to restore a confidence in boomerang tossing that I didn’t even know I had!  After we all gave our fair share of throwing it in the air, some for better and some for worse, we went back to the bus as Mark revealed that he had boomerangs to sell.  Demonstrate the product.  Put it in their hands.  Make them feel in control. And then… sell it to ‘em!  Mark was a perfect salesman… and I almost bought two!
