Ladies and Gentlemen, attention please...

Imagine Karsten yelling that phrase while holding the swiffer duster out in front of him like a megaphone.  Are you laughing yet?  Karsten was pretending to be a circus announcer and would muster his best announcer voice, then yell "Ladies and Gentlemen, attention please...attention elephants......attention .

He would show us to our seats (because we were the audience) and we had to stay seated while he announced everything.  At some point during the process, he found his cowboy hat and put it on. He bent the hat a bit which is why the sides do not go up on the side like you would expect.
