LOL! Exactly, you never know what substances New Yorkers are on at any given time so things like this really must be stopped before some gets hurt or.... e coli.
Down in NE Philly, and up in Collegeville, there are ice cream stands (like Dairy Queens, but not) and the BUILDING is shaped like an ice cream cone!! They're the best! Sarah and me always say that we'd love living in an ice cream cone shaped house! Wouldn't that be awesome??? (these particular two are strawberry, by the way.) &:o)
Omg, this reminded me....while in India we rarely saw a trashcan. Sometimes if felt as if the streets were just one big trashcan. But....one of the temples we were at had these trashcans shaped like penguins. In INDIA???? I have NO idea where they came up with those.
I felt the same way in Greece. No Lady Bird Johnson there, either. It was tragic, driving through the many many mountainsides to see nothing but piles and piles of trash dumped carelessly along the sides of the road - often being a long drop off because it's the mountains. So all the ravines were full of trash, too. Just bizarre. And yeah - NO trash cans anywhere. I lived in a small village there and one day I took a girl with me to mail some stuff at the post office and I bought her an ice cream cone to rewards her - which she very carefully removed from the paper packaging and then very carefully bent down and laid the wrapper neatly on the ground. I had never seen anything like that. Now I see it all the time - New Yorkers are shameless litterers. Drives me bonkers.
Wow! I didn't know Greece was like that, too. We got yogurt lassis to drink and when we were finished our driver pointed to the ground, and told us to throw our cups there. It was the most awful feeling...and he had to tell us about four times to do it before we could actually set them carefully on the ground. Since I got home I have been SO grateful for how clean it is here!!

Or at least holding hands with strangers while we wait for the bus! (What's that ya'll said about e-coli?)
Wow - considering the folks in this city who I see waiting for the bus - that is DAMN funny picture.
Oh and the e coli: see above re licking trash cans :)
LOL---I read it as 'trashcan-shaped-ice cream cones!'
Before the scroll-down I was thinking baskin-robbins had a new flava!

that is f'n hilarious. I don't think I could live with that trash/ice cream can, though.
Thanks for the laugh.
