I was for a fall/winter semester a crossing guard in elementary school too. When the rotating "whistle captain" (the signal for the sign-holding guards to hold out the stop signs) rolled around to me I got great pleasure tormenting the students by refusing to blow the signal until a fairly large mass of kids had assembled and were yelling "C.mon, man. Blow it already!!" I never had any youthful political ambitions, but given the reputation I had earned as being a dick I'm pretty sure any campaign I might have considered would have died in the cradle.
