Remember if you find yourself confronted with a wild T. Rex: you can’t outrun them, and obstacle courses will not stop them.

There is nothing in this world that is not improved by having it done by people in T-Rex costumes. Nothing!!

Absolute truth.

Including, seriously, horse racing. This sport is too often inhumane.

Be careful with this. Some paleontologists believe that racing them at Santa Anita is what led to the extinction of dinosaurs.

I think you’re on to something. I’ve done a quick analysis and the preliminary results show a strong correlation between job performance gains and T-Rex costuming.

The negative impact on Homeopathic “Therapists” is likely related to homeopathy not being a real thing which, as such, can’t be improved. The modest gains seen by Lumberjacks and Ballerinas are puzzling (who doesn’t want to watch a T-Rex dance Swan Lake?), and the complete miss with Potato Farmers makes me wonder if there is a flaw in the data collection methodology. But generally speaking, your assertion is borne out - everything is improved when it is done by people in T-Rex costumes.

I think that you need longer arms to be a potato farmer.

I’m glad to see that Roman Centurion is still a career option; so many of the old trades have be outsourced to off shore providers.

It’s the young people is what it is, what with their whizz-bang phones and drone delivery pizzas; they have no respect for tradition or appreciation of true craft.

If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go put on my T-Rex Costume and shout at a cloud.

Yelling at kids to get off the lawn is improved by wearing a T-Rex costume.
