It's a brisk winter's day in Sydney Australia. The train station is busy as people cram into a small passageway, scrambling to get to work...a man busking on the corner. A group of people huddle outside of a small coffee shop waiting for their morning fix, and two friends grumble about the boring day ahead. They sit on two low stools, trying to warm themselves with their beverage of choice, when all of a sudden they hear "GET OUT OF MY WAY!!" They look around, but see nothing. Then again..."GET OUT OF MY WAAAY!" They crane their necks, but still cannot locate the person yelling, or what the commotion is about. All of a sudden, they hear the same scream "GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!" While they initially could not see anything out of the ordinary, the morning rush hour commuter traffic begins to part, people yelping as they jump out of the way. Careening through the middle of the parting crowd is a midget on a scooter. Not just any scooter....but a non-motorized scooter. The kind you have to really work hard to get moving. The scooter grazes the shoulder of one of the friends and narrowly avoiding a collision, but creating a wonderful photo opportunity.
