Recent Events Dictate : A Conversation About New Orleans
|May 30, 2010 | Recent Events Dictate, Stuffs
Two men are talking at a flea market.
Old man : ” Hey, well, look at that! Do you know what that is? ”
Younger man : ” It looks like a license plate for a bike. ”
OM : ” Yep, up until the 1980s every bicycle had to have one of these. ”
YM : ” Even little kids? ”
OM : ” Yeah! Seems crazy, doesn’t it? I wonder why they did that. ”
YM : ” Well, you had to buy the tag from the police, and then if you got caught not having one you’d have to pay a fine to the city, right? ”
Both men look thoughtful.
