Just another day in the Big Apple

The funniest thing about the new Joker trailer is that if I saw a bunch of clowns wreaking havoc in the NYC subway, my first reaction would be "ugh. I guess there's some fucking clown thing today." pic.twitter.com/YmwT5uZBRm

Long, long ago, when I was new to New York, I was having lunch at a Chock Full o'Nuts across the street from where I worked on lower Broadway. The guy sitting two stools down from me left and was replaced at the counter by a new guy, and the guy next to me, between me and the newcomer, asked, "What's with all the crowd out on the street?"

"Oh, nothing," the new guy answered. "Just two guys walking down the middle of the street in space suits."

"Ah," said the guy next to me, and he went back to eating his soup.
