This bit of much needed tranquility hails from Nassau Avenue which, as many of you are all too aware, is experiencing a great deal of upheaval lately due to construction. Yours truly got a taste of it yesterday at the intersection of Russell Street and Nassau Avenue. This is where a motorist, apparently unaware of the stop sign and a fellow directing traffic decided to proceed through the intersection and damned near hit yours truly in the process. The traffic monitor had this to say about this fellow’s intransigence:
Fucking idiot!
To wit, I clarified:
I beg to differ. Methinks fucking asshole is more apropos.
I look at it this way: having to reside or operate a business in the midst of this mayhem is bad. Having to preside over it— especially in 90+ degree weather— is probably worse. This post is for you, Mr. Traffic Monitor.
Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Found
This is a long shot, but here it is anyway. If anyone reading this misplaced a bag of Gap clothing on the bus (whether or not it was the B62 or B43 is not indicated) a good Samaritan has it! You can get it back by calling the above-listed telephone number.
New York Shitty Day Ender: Caption This
As my professors in art school often said:
Context is everything.
And by all appearances this concept appears to have been lost on this fan of our current Community Board 1 chair and aspiring 50th Assembly District Leader, Chris Olechowski. Or perhaps he (she?) has a sense dark sense of humor? Only he knows for certain. In any case, this Nassau Avenue business owner could have at least placed Mr. Olechowski’s visage in front of premium, two-ply asswipes. Standards, people!
P.S.: I have decided a prize is in order for anyone who sees fit to give this image a snappy caption. See “comments” for details.
