Speaking of mannequins...

I'm the curator at a small historic house museum and so of course, part of 
my job is to dust the objects throughout the museum. I try not to clean when 
visitors are trying to view the rooms, but since the hours I work happen to 
be the same hours we're open to the public, sometimes it can't be helped and 
visitors sneak up on you.

Well, one day last summer I was in a period room with my back to the door, 
standing in front of a dresser dusting small objects. When I heard some 
visitors come to the plexiglass at the doorway to look in, I turned around 
to be polite and say hello. Turns out I ended up giving them a real scare-- 
they had assumed I was a mannequin!
