Plasterboard to Gorleston by Chasm

As I pondered what to bring on my first task that actually requires some effort on my part, I happened to glance up at a hairdressers head that was sitting upon a shelf above me.

So of course, I decided to bring that. Or a few.

Or 7.

With a few body parts.

Stuffed in a green mesh bag.

So, I started off at a bus stop that was around 2 hours from my destination, so I'd have plenty of exposure time. As I boarded the bus and found a seat in the 'must move for seniors and people with disabilities' section, I noticed a lot of odd stares headed my direction. A woman leaned over to her daughter and I caught a snatch of conversation.
"Is he in barber school?"
"That's gotta be it... there's no other explanation"
Hmm... we have a problem. They think I'm a student of hairdressing. I'm not. So, of course, I pulled out a head and placed it on the seat next to me, to break any illusions they may have had that I am a normal, sane individual. (see photos) As the bus filled up (I had started at pretty much the beginning of the line), the seats around me for some unfathomable reason remained empty. Finally, though, the seats were all full except for the one the head was sitting in, and the one next to it. An elderly gentleman boarded the bus and sat down in the remaining seat next to the head. A few minutes passed, and he looked down. The obvious startlement on his face, and the subsequent attempt to get away was hilarious to behold. After a quick survey around the bus, the poor soul realized that there was nowhere else to sit. Inching himself as far away from I and my multiple heads as he could, he avoided my vaguely interested gaze. In a few stops, a seat was vacated, and he sprang to his feet and sat in it before anyone else could take it.
Soon, the bus line ended and I transferred to another one. This proved to be the most interesting part of my ride. After deeply disturbing a passenger (apparently, people find it unsettling when a disembodied head hovers over them, reading their text messages), I noticed that a fellow passenger kept dropping his cell phone as he drifted off to sleep. Intrigued, I began filming him. I was happily engaged for the rest of the ride watching this fascinating individual. I pieced some of the best footage into a short video, which I hope you watch. It was the most interesting part of my ride, certainly. I hope you find it so.

Oh My gosh!!! You play out of PDX? Give my old city lots of love, and hit up her, him and all of these other people
Five points for creating hilarious awkwardness.
