    • @cristaovery7784
      @cristaovery7784 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Nth Imperium I am confused as to what you find wrong with my comment. It is the possessive form of 'their' as opposed to 'there' or 'they're'. I admit that I am no grammar teacher, but I am pretty sure this is correct. And in saying 'their' I am referring to the Improv Everywhere channel not TH-cam in general if that is what you thought I was thinking. Can you please explain what I did wrong in this comment?

    • @EricWhitehead

    It's amazing how a simple high five can make someone's day that much better. Look at how everyone's expression changed from miserable at the bottom of the escalator to joyful once reaching the top.

    Guys, I was at JFK airport today and did this during my layover in the American airlines terminal. My sign read "free high fives" and 95% of passengers loved the experience. One passenger misread the sign and reported to security that I was offering free WiFi, so security came and questioned me. I showed them the sign and my boarding pass, and they were relieved to know it was just something harmless. They told me to cease, though. But in fifteen minutes, I received or gave over one hundred. I think this could go well if security is simply given a heads up first.
