Today, I was walking in to work - it was unbearably hot as I walked along Park Avenue, a benefit of the beautifully sunny weather we’ve been having.

As I got up to the building where my client is located, there was a young women dressed in jeans and a tight fitting top. In her hands she held a clipboard with a sticker on the back which read “BEAT BUSH!” (exclamation point added for effect). She was stopping people as they walked by trying to catch their attention.

As I approached the door, she turned towards me and pointedly said, “Excuse me sir, do you want to beat bush?”

Are women really not aware of occurs to a man when they have that question directed at them? Needless to say, I responded with the curt nod which indicated I was pressed for time and surpressed a smile and slight laugh as I made my way through the revolving doors of the building.
