The New American Ninja

For those of you who work in tall office buildings you may have witnessed the triumph of the American dream that I call the "New American Ninja". These ninjas are a little different than the traditional ones or even the turtle ones. While they do repel off of skyscrapers and use special weapons to fight enemies, their arch nemesis is window dirt.

Yes, I'm talking about the window washers that semi monthly fly down mine and the surrounding buildings, skillfully removing all dirt in their path. I can't help but notice that most of them appear to be foreign born. Isn't that the beauty of America? What a great country where you can go from being a brain surgeon or politician in your native land and become, for all intents and purposes, an urban ninja. Because, as any five year old will tell you, there is nothing cooler than ninjas (except maybe dinosaurs, but let's be realistic).

Brings tears to my eyes.
