For three weeks before ChristmasI worked 11 hour days, 6 days a week as a Salvation Army "Kettle Driver", taking bell ringers to their stops, being sure they had what they needed, swapping out full kettles and even providing sandwiches. It was fun, but exhausting.

Bonzo Crunch asked the Salvation Army if he could volunteer as a ringer in exchange p his for promoting "The Greatest Show on Earth". He set up his bells at a local Michaels and had a great time for 4 hours, passing out red noses and circus coupons. Afterwards he gave me the rest of the box of noses and several of my ringers wore them with antlers for a "Rudolph" look that passers-by enjoyed.
