The World Wide Web Is An Odd Place

There are so many very strange corners of the internet, with all kinds of quirky, amusing, and/or peculiar content.  Whilst roaming our usual world wide web haunts today, we came across a particular "prank" video.  While Herself loathes and detests most activities called "practical jokes" or "pranks," this one was slightly different:
it depicts a serious request by a young man to receive aid with a commonplace occurrence.

The young man sits on a park bench, with a very small bed on the ground before him.  He calls out to passers-by; he indicates that his foot has fallen asleep; would they please tuck it into bed?  While some suspiciously decline, others good-naturedly comply.  Observers laugh happily.   For the more willing strangers, the young man additionally asks if they will put tiny pajamas on his foot or read it a bedtime story.  One is even asked to give it a kiss goodnight.  She quickly places a kiss on her fingertips and delivers it to the tucked-in foot.

We suppose that if the young man in question were sinister, unwashed, or otherwise creepy, the activity wouldn't have been successful.  His fresh-faced and deadpan requests, though, were perfect in their innocuousness and humor.  And if we'd been there, we would have acquiesced, complete with foot-pajamas, story, tucking-in, and all.  Because life is too short not to be amused by literal follies.
