Just today as I sipped on a cup of joe, I watched “person” after “person” throw their cigarette buts to the ground and spew vile smoke into the atmosphere and pedestrian faces, RUDE! Im so proud of you New York that I want to give you a big Bear hug and if you’re luck a reach around ( wink wink)

GOODY GOODY GUM DROPS!
