I used to work for the Sharper Image and Gary Busey came blustering in one day looking for a hair dryer. Apparently he really liked the folding travel hair dryers we sold.

He literally ran into the store shouting about hair dryers, I was nearest the door at the time so I pointed him in the right direction and started to walk over with him. Well, he was apparently really enthusiastic about getting a hair dryer so he practically dashed over to where I told him the hair dryers were and he did a hilarious kind of “evil mastermind” hand-rub while looking over the shelves as I’m catching up.

He spots the one he wants and immediately goes to plug it in (we would keep one of every product out on display but we’d wrap the cords up real short and neat so it wasn’t just a big mess) and by the time I get over he’s got his head stuck up inside a display cabinet happily blowing his hair around with an unfolded folding hair dryer with a 6-inch power cord while grinning like an idiot.

So anyhow he bought the hair dryer (he wanted the display because he’d “already tested it”, refused a new one in a box) and that was how I came to watch Gary Busey blow dry his hair in a Sharper Image display case.
