I'm walking to work this morning and it's a lovely spring day, and I'm
walking up Sixth Avenue and I see one of those mime performers. So the mime
is doing that famous mime routine where he's pretending to be trapped in a
box. So I stand there and watch the mime pretend to be trapped in a box.
And he finishes up, and thank God, he wasn't really trapped in a box. And I
see on the sidewalk there he's got a little hat for money--dollars, change,
tips, donations, contributions. So I went over and I pretended to put a
dollar bill in his hat.
