The characters:Black man in his mid-late 40's, slightly heavy set, big smile, hat and sunglasses, working in the Reggae/Rap tent, music a' boomin'.
An attractive but conservatively dressed black woman in her early 30's, with short hair and black framed sunglasses with green lenses, strolling through the center of the fair with a girlfriend and drinking lemonade.
Man shouts to woman: You look just like my ex wife!
Woman says over her shoulder: Fuck you.
Man shouts back: Well, you do!
I laugh.
Woman keeps walking over to a jewelry tent two stands down, but not without give a few more incredulous amused/disgusted/embarrassed glances the way of the man in the Reggae tent.
I laugh again. Still funny.
Dudes. What they won't say for a little look their way.

That's a picture of the 6th Ave Street fair.
Radio City Music Hall is a dead give away.
And he probably thought it was a good pick up line!
Maybe it WAS the ex-wife?
Oh the things we don't get in SoCal. Not fair.
the picture was just to suggest the feel and look of a street fair in general for my out of town peeps, but there's no pulling the Radio City Music Hall Wool over your eyes, Peter!
have you thought about a career compliance, or rights and clearances?
You're busted!
And I don't mean in a Janet Jackson sort of way.
I usually just say "You dropped something miss!" then ding 'em with a club when they look down.
k, you're fired! you didn't entertain me today.
Hope all is well.
