I work at a small recreation supply shop in the city. We craft the blow-up bouncy clownheads that you see at the county fair. They're not the best quality, but they do have some of the features that the big players have, and from a distance you can't even tell the difference. It's not the work itself that makes the job interesting, but the constant lawsuits.
