Man oh Manikin

Today on my lunch break I passed Saks when something caught my attention.
A truck was stopped by the loading dock and had the back of the truck open while unloading the contents inside the store. Working men were busy running back and forth from the truck to the store trying to unload as much material as possible before the store opened. With people rushing around me trying to beat the clock to work and the men quickly lifting things from the truck, I was the only thing standing still as I stared inside the truck.
The inside wall of the truck was lined with plastic female manikins. Clearly they were soon to be clothed with a beautiful expensive BCBG or Versace dresss, but for now these plastic women were strapped naked to the inside of the truck. They couldn't move nor express any kind of emotion. They just sat there staring.

I smiled back at them and thought no matter what kind of day I am having…it could ALWAYS be worse!
