Joey Votto, sign-spinner.
*
We have not yet seen Joey Votto at a stop light in Delhi Township, sitting cross-legged in the grass, a paint bucket at his elbow and a sign in his lap that reads TEAMLESS. We fear that time is coming.
Officially, Joe’s not retired. Others have retired him.
In response, Votto has expressed his dismay in highly Votto ways. On Instagram this week, we’ve seen Joe (1) sitting sadly in his vehicle at the car wash, (2) threatening to live the gangsta life by not returning his grocery cart and (3) cutting patterns into a piece of paper using kid-safe scissors in what looks to be a grade-school classroom.
This is no time for self-pity. Joey has mad skilz. This is the same man who posted an Instagram pic of himself behind the wheel of a school bus. As he embarks on his new life journey, Joey just needs a little direction. We’re just the guys to give it to him.
“Would you like to super-size that?’’ is not the worst job in the world.
