Anyone who would borrow $35,000 to study freakin’ puppets is an idiot and will never be of any value to society as anything other than an organ donor.

Besides, how long can you study a puppet? This string is the right arm, etc. 20 minutes ought to cover it.

No joke. My 4 year old daughter does it with about 3 minutes of training. I would’ve charged the guy $20,000. What a bargain! For another $15,000, I’ll also show you how to change your oil or change out your toilet or change out your bathroom sink. I never realized until this article that I could be so enterprising to the stupid.

Being a puppeteer takes both verbal and physical dexterity. It is a trade that does not pay all that well. Someone I knew supplemented her income as being a psychic on the Psychic Hot Line, and that was at least 10 years ago when people were having entertainers at children's parties.
