I'm probably the only one that thinks this is funny.

An amateur interpreter for the deaf was tapped at the last minute to provide sign language during a press conference — and things got out of hand.
Before Hurricane Irma ripped through Florida, Manatee County leaders were preparing to address the public with “crucial” information.
That’s when, “in a pinch,” they called Marshall Greene to communicate using sign language, according to WFLA.
Greene, a lifeguard for the county, veered off course when he began signing words like “pizza,” “bear,” and “monster,” among others — words that had nothing to do with the press conference.
“I knew something went horribly wrong,” Charlene McCarthy told WFLA. McCarthy owns VisCom, a company that regularly provides interpreters for the county.
