The shared experience of absurdity

Charlie Todd: The shared experience of absurdity
Summay
The speaker wants to do something which is a little bit prank in public places. It's a positive experience for other people. He wants to make people as happy as possible. It will give somebody a great story to tell also. And then, it inspires him to do funny things more. There was a criticism. However, not everyone is going to like everything you do but it would be as same as any other New Yorkers do like they watch a football game to spend weekends.
Playing has no reason. It doesn’t need a reason like kids do. There is no right or wrong to play. It's important to make people who are basically busy and sometimes depresed have fun time and it makes him happy also.
