THE PERFECT GIFT for the Do-Gooder in your life. (Don't you just hate them?) _________________________________________________
The do-gooder does all sorts of crazy things.
It can be something as easy as running a marathon, or as difficult as dressing up.
To make this eccentric behaviour seem less like a cry for help or the beginnings of a substantial personal crisis, the do-gooder does it for charity. _________________________________________________
Vernon has a job as a street fundraiser for the R.N.L.I.
He wears a high-visibility jacket, a high visibility and high visibility trousers.
Everybody on the street still pretends they cannot see him. _________________________________________________
