The PTO did a new fundraiser at the school this year. We have traditionally done a pizza bingo night in February, but it was getting stale and last year we didn't raise anything like the amount of money we had done in previous years. We decided to do a pancake breakfast and hired The Pancake Man to do it. This guy comes in and does everything for you, and it is supposed to be highly entertaining.
Well, some young guy turns up looking like he's nursing the hangover from Hell and he starts setting up. He gets the griddle going and seasons it. The kids are standing around watching him and he's completely ignoring them. It's deathly quiet in the cafeteria. I'm thinking "oh no, this isn't what we expected". One of the other PTO members says to me "he's not very interactive, is he?"
Well, just then, he cleans off the griddle and sets up the first batch of pancakes. The kids standing around are speechless. Their jaws drop and their eyes are as big as saucers. This is looking better.....

Once he gets going, it's a one man show. He kept everyone entertained for 2 1/2 hours and never stopped. He did unlimited pancakes and sausage, plus drinks single-handedly. This is the school principal getting her pancakes. I told him who she was and he said "oh, I'll set up a row of four for her, the kids will love it" and they did.

This is Sam and Ben getting their pancakes, they did a great job of catching them.
