The Down-lier

Just when you think you've seen it all!

I was walking to work last week, when I saw a man walk from the corner of First Avenue and East 9th Street into the middle of the intersection and lie down!

Lying down in the middle of the intersection.

He saw me watching him. I gestured with both hands for him to get up. He reached out his hand, as if he wanted me to help him.

There was no way I was going to walk out into traffic to pick up some guy who just walked out there and laid down. It's like a wild animal with rabies, it's better to stay clear.

A couple of people who didn't see him walk out there passed by and escorted him back to the sidewalk. They probably have Covid-19 now!
