Overheard in New York

My gal pal Jo Jo and I are having a picnic lunch at a cold and wet Bryant Park. We're just gabbing while finishing up our carrot sticks before moving onto dessert. (2 handcrafted brownies from ex-pro baker Momma Gould)

The following ensues....

Crazy Homeless Man with Medical Bracelets on: Excuse me beautiful ladies, but I'm really hungry. I was wondering if you had any food you could spare.

Me: Umm, you can have the rest of our carrot sticks.

(Pause)

Crazy Homeless Man with Medical Bracelets on: I was thinking more like a brownie.

Me: No, sorry. But you're more than welcome to have the carrot sticks.

Crazy Homeless Man with Medical Bracelets on: I hate carrots. (grumbles away)

Jo Jo: I hate picky beggars.

Hahahahaha. Welcome back to the Big Apple!
