Pimping the jeepney pimp

In Manila, if you don't know a street corner that serves as a jeepney line, you're either blind or... the tint on your car is at 50%. Jeepney lines, the gallant (but usually futile) attempt by jeepney operators and drivers to instill discipline among themselves crucial for the equitable sharing of passengers, are as ubiquitous as the jeepneys themselves. And when you have a jeepney line, you have a barker - that person with the dogged attitude to get passengers into the jeepney. In hiphop culture, he would've been called the jeepney pimp because of what he does.

So friends, colleagues, students of life and other stumblers-upon-my-blog, presenting -- how we have pimped the jeepney pimp to pimp our product. Lol.
