Humor in the streets

A Hoboken Antique

While out and about, I try to find some humorous things in the street. When Tom and I were in Hoboken a number of opportunities presented themselves. The first one happened when we were walking down the street and passing a shop, Hoboken Antiques. I couldn’t believe my luck, here was an antique shop with a little old man sitting out front in a rocker, smoking a cigarette right under the awning. Perfect … almost. As soon as I maneuvered in to frame up the shot, the lady seen in the photo decided to walk right into the scene! Damn! Well, I was going for humor, and it was rather funny that she walked in at exactly the time that I wanted to take the picture. Not only that, she didn’t keep going, she just wanted to browse the window close to the guy that I was taking the picture of. Move it lady!!!
Take two

After I took this picture, we moved on down the street, where I saw this guy deep into his music. He was singing a rather off-key rendition of Michael Jackson’s P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing). I stopped to take his picture. To my right were two ladies who were critiquing his singing. Basically, they told him that he couldn’t sing a bit! He just smiled and kept right on singing. One of the ladies asked me: Hey! Why are you taking his picture? Are you a detective or something? LOL! Ummm, no, I’m not. I’m just taking his picture!

A few more steps down the sidewalk and I spied a mover getting a bit of exercise. Hey! It saves on health club memberships and there’s no commuting because you’re already at work! Two birds! One stone!

One! Two! Don’t forget to breath!
Hoboken provided a good bit of entertainment within a very short distance!
