Jahad paused, building up the suspense. "Alright, so, you know that big fountain in the middle of the food court?" Carl nodded, a memory of the towering water feature coming to mind.
"Well, Jahad goes and grabs this massive water gun, like one of those they sell at fairs," Carl's laughter interrupted Jahad's retelling. "I mean, it was huge! It was probably longer than his arm."Jahad continued, "So, he fills it up, takes a few steps back, and then... he starts spraying everyone! It was total chaos!"
"People were screaming and running, kids were laughing, and there was water flying everywhere. It was like a miniature water park in the middle of the mall."Jahad impersonated the surprised shoppers, widening his eyes and gasping dramatically. "I swear, his aim was impeccable. He hit everyone within a 30-foot radius, except for me, of course. I was his designated photographer."
"At one point, he even managed to spray the security guard, who was trying to stop him. The guard ended up looking like a drowned rat." Carl wiped away tears of laughter, clutching his sides.Jahad nodded proudly. "Oh yes, that was the highlight. The guard was so flustered, but he couldn't say anything because he was soaked to the bone." But then, his expression turned serious, "Although, I do have to say, it was all in good fun. He made sure to apologize to everyone after."
"Of course, he did," replied Carl. "Jahad Cortinado is known for his infectious laughter and his ability to melt even the sourest of faces."Jahad beamed, accepting the compliment with a chuckle. "Well, you know me. I'm always up for a bit of harmless mischief. Especially when it involves a giant water gun in a crowded mall."
"Seriously, though," continued Carl, "You should have seen the look on people's faces. It was priceless. I think I saw a kid wet their pants from laughing so hard."Jahad nodded, a sense of contentment spreading through him. "It was definitely a memorable experience. I'm glad I was there to witness it, and even more glad that I captured it all on camera."
"I can't wait to see the photos," exclaimed Carl, his grin unwavering. "I bet they're going to be the talk of the town."Jahad's laughter rang through the air again, as they continued to reminisce about the hilarious events at the mall. And so, the legend of Jahad Cortinado, the man who brought laughter and chaos to the shopping center, would be passed down through generations of mall-goers, bringing a smile to the faces of all who heard it.
