Otis The Promotions Guy Otis' professional life closely mirrors his childhood. The day he was born, his mother went to the wrong hospital.  On his tenth birthday, family, banners, and presents showed up on the wrong day because the promotional announcements were incorrect. The event was rained out anyway, but rather than move to a dry, inside location, Otis tried to fashion a tent out of a backyard hammock. That might have worked except his mother had left the duct tape in the van, which was  at the shop having a new battery put in because Otis left the lights on because he left his flashlight at his remote, uh, friends house.
