This legend, Sherman Bynum, rented a legit World War II army tank for $1,000 to make a grand entrance at Camas High School's prom.
And get this, he and his buddy raised the dough through TikTok and a GoFundMe account. This is how you make a splash at a big event, folks!
Watch the video:
WJHG News reported that Sherman Bynum fell in love with tanks and got the idea to ride in one to his junior prom.
“We don’t like normal very much,” he said.Soon after, he stumbled across Steve Greenberg, who owns an M3A1 WWII tank in Portland, and who agreed to drive Sherman and his friends for $1,000.
Sherman and his best friend Sam Tetro created a GoFundMe and quickly raised enough money to hire Greenberg to take them to prom in the tank.
He even recruited a man in the area who is known for playing flaming bagpipes to the theme of “Star Wars” while riding a unicycle. The unipiper said he was happy to be their escort to the dance.
Sherman was accompanied by his date who he asked out by holding a sign that said, “I’d be tankful to take you to prom.”
While this endeavor may have started out as a joke, Sherman said it wound up proving a point he holds near and dear: “Live your life to the fullest. That’s what it’s all about.”
Well, kudos to this kid for living his life to the fullest.
What a great attitude to have and we hope he never loses it!
