Learn a Phrase: Sign Flipping

If you think that you don't know what sign flipping is, chances are that you probably have already seen someone doing it. Yes, at the corner of a busy intersection, that guy or gal who flips a big sign actively to attract passers-by's attention, remember? A somewhat unexpected piece of information is that these sign flippers are not cheap; instead, they cost about $30 per hour to "rent". Also, contrary to popular belief, sign flippers are said to love their jobs. One reason is that their employers know that they need to hire people who love the attention and are not afraid of the hard work. Actually, a fair percentage of sign flippers are singers or dancers. So, for you next big party or event, are you going to rent one?
