In today's New York Times Metropolitan Diary Column:
DEAR DIARY:
Visiting New York City a few years ago, I was walking down Avenue of the Americas in the 50s when I noticed a man selling watches out of a briefcase atop a garbage can. About eight people were eyeing the watches, a typical sight on these streets.
One potential customer asked, “How can you sell these so cheaply?”
The man answered, “They’re stolen, stupid!”

Don't think they're stolen, they're just fake. :)

What else were they selling?
ReplyDeleteIf it looks too good to be true . . .
ReplyDeleteMy brother used to be a vendor and people usually thought it was stolen stuff, but he just bought it wholesale.
