Be My Escape
July 30, 2008 | permalink

I saw a funny thing the other day. And when I say funny, I mean I stopped dead in the street laughing like an idiot when I saw it, totally helpless, no doubt to the great disinterest of my fellow pedestrians.

You see, on 3rd Ave, near 17th Street, there is a two story building. There is a business on each floor. The one on the ground floor is called Still. The one above is Sal Anthony's School of Movement. Get it? Still? Movement? Funny, no? (If you doubt me, here is the Google Maps Street View to prove it...)

Of course, as comical as I find that juxtaposition, it leads me to questions. How many people walk by there every day oblivious to the joke? How many times have I walked past without noticing? Are either of the parties involved aware of how funny this is? Did one of them do it on purpose? If so, I want to buy them a beer.

How much more comedy is out there, Gentle Readers, going unappreciated?
