Wizard Seeking Apprentice

So, I'm like 26 or 27 or something like that. But my maturity level is probably stuck somewhere in the 15 or 16 year old range. I've long since accepted it. So when a night of almost playing racquetball and chowing down some Indian-not the rain catcher kind, but the slumdog millionaire kind-food with the guys was coming to an end, we realized something. We hadn't actually done anything that would give us a good eye rolling from our wives. And what's the point of leaving the wives at home if you don't cause a little mischief or something? The answer is no point.

So we sat in the car in the parking lot and tried to come up with something that would fulfill the one requirement of a successful guys night. The minutes passed, and Jodran* decided that he needed to leave. That one decision changed the course of his life forever. Little did he know that from that moment he would become a powerful wizard!

Huh?

My other friend Brain* came up with a plan of immaculate conception. There is a really effective marketing campaign going on right now at virtually every freeway exit in Utah right now. Apparently there are quite a few wealthy investors around looking for apprentices (is that pronounced aprentice-es or apprentice-ease?). And they put these really good homemade signs up to advertise this fact. Brain's plan was to create a sign or two for a wizard seeking an apprentice.

You may be thinking that's weird and kind of lame. And I admit, it kind of is. But if you refer to my opening statement it fits my mentality. However, there's no point in putting in the minutes of effort required to execute a plan of this caliber unless there is some way of tracking the results. To solve that problem I decided that we needed to put down somebody's phone number that we knew, so that we may hear through the grapevine or, optimally, straight from the horses mouth the effectiveness of our sign(s). So we decided what better number to put than our good friend Jodran's.

Now thanks to the marvels of modern technology, I now know that after 8 phone calls and the removal of the sign, Jodran has received 3 more. One of which he claims was legit.

That was the highlight of my life the other day.

Huh.

*names have been changed to protect privacy. Phone numbers haven't but apparently he has filled the opening.

Weird.

P.S. You are correct, that is an owl in a wizard cap. 
P.P.S. I do take commisioned projects.
