Life Is Funny: NYC - Take Two

By MAD21

My hubby and I got to go spend a weekend in New York City last month. It's become somewhat of an annual event. We love going, but one weekend is about all we can handle of the craziness of that city. Last year I created a Top Ten List of the ...interesting... things that happened to us while we were there. We didn't see any boxing squirrels or people licking railings this year, but there were two very unique items that I thought I would share with you:

THE largest Pez dispenser that I have EVER seen (can you imagine the size of the candy for that??). Barbie's face was pretty scary, but I have to say that the Lucille Ball Barbie is WAY scarier (sorry, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of that one). There was also an enormous amount of scaffolding next to buildings held together by, you guessed it... DUCT TAPE. Wow. Obviously OSHA doesn't visit that city very often!

My friend and fellow blogger Wendy at Weight..What? has a fun carnival at her blog called "Life is Funny." Every Monday we talk about something in life that we find funny. Be sure to go visit her blog to read her post along with links to other blogs who are participating.

My hubby was just referring to something he saw on the TV. Don’t we follow directions well? Or maybe it’s just because we were in NYC.

2.  “I don’t appreciate getting dinged at.” There were probably 1000 rickshaws pulling people in the city. We had more issues with them almost running us over than the NYC taxi cabs!

3.  Boxing squirrels. When walking through Central Park, we had stopped at one point to look at squirrel sitting on a rock. Someone jokingly said, “Uh, we have squirrels at home.” Just then, another squirrel came up around the other side of the rock and started pounding on the other squirrel. It looked like they were boxing. Which leads us to…
