So, The hot dog vendor says to this lady...
Central Park is a wonderful place. I've always marveled at the foresight of the city planners to lay out a huge patch of the island as a park, largely before the city grew around it. It was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, probably America's greatest landscape architect, who also designed several parks in Boston and Detroit's Belle Isle.
I went up there recently to get a hot dog, and walked up to a hot dog vendor's cart. The vendor was selling a hot dog to a woman who was smoking. As he handed her the dog, they had the following conversation:
Vendor: Hey, you can't smoke here.
Lady: Out here, in the park?
Vendor: Not at my stand. It's a smoke-free zone.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the country, Swanburg claims to be at Disneyland with Jerry Rice, Pete Rose, and some latex gloves.

Olmstead's park on Goat Island, on the American side of Niagara Falls is also a masterpiece.

A Budhist monk walks up to a hot dog vender in central park. The vender is surprised, but asks, "What'll you have?" The monk replies, "Make me one with everything."

Joe,
Ha ha, that is cute!
I do wonder if those cart hotdogs are sanitary...I asked a truck vendor in D.C. about that once, but he said "Don' worry, cock-a-roaches can't keep up with my rig." Then the conversation predictably degenerated into a discussion of similarities between the American cockroach and U.S. politicians.
