How To Survive 1 Hour As The Chick-fil-a Cow

Preparation is key for any challenge in life. Here's how you should prepare for 1 hour as the Chick-fil-a cow:

• First, you must put your body to the test ahead of time to make sure you can handle it
• Start by getting into a sauna that's around 120° Fahrenheit
  
• Then put on some ski bibs and a heavy winter coat; oh, and some gloves too
  
• Stand there
• Then, have a friend rest a 20 pound weight on the back of your neck
• Then put some shoulder restraints on so you can't raise your arms
• Have your friend tickle your face with a feather
• But don't scratch it
• Another key for the sauna: make sure there is no air flow. This is important
• Find a restraint to make your head completely stationary - no neck movement allowed
• Now put a blindfold over the top half of your eyes so all you can see is 24 inches of the ground in front of your feet
• Stand there some more
  
• Pretend cars are driving by, only you can't see them, and then wave
  
• But, remember, you can't raise your arms
• Have some of your friends who you haven't seen in a while come in and wave and scream and say hello
• But remember, you won't be able to see them
• Let beads of sweat drip down your face, neck, body, and legs, but never wipe them
• Continue until 1 hour has elapsed

Once you have completed the exercises as described above, you will have accurate expectations for your hour as the Chick-fil-a cow.

Consider yourself warned. I wasn't so fortunate. I showed up with a smile on my face ready to put on the cow costume and help draw some people in for my brother-in-law's Eagle Scout Car Wash Fundraiser.

All smiles for now.

The fun begins.
