Saw a gang of teenagers walking down the street, snow shovels slung over their shoulder. They're clearing the feet of snow we just got out of people's driveways. There are five of them.

I immediately wonder how lucrative this is for them. They couldn't get more than twenty dollars a driveway and then splitting it five ways. Doesn't seem worth it.
Then again, I'm spoiled.
So the plow comes charging through at a ridiculous speed. There are six foot mountains of snow on either side of road. The plow fills the entire space between the mountains and it's about to hit these five shovelers. Four of the five stand on their tiptoes against the side of the road, letting the plow barely eek by them. The fifth... in a dramatic move of life preservation, takes a running leap. Up and into and completely under the snow.
And then he's stuck, up to his neck in it, as the rest of the kids are dry and laughing.
