Metropolitan Diary Monday!

Another treasure from this week’s diary.

Dear Diary:

A large double-parked van on a Queens residential street stopped the Q33 bus to La Guardia Airport the other day.

The bus driver honked and honked to no response. Then he left us for a couple of minutes.

When he got back on the bus, he addressed our small group of suitcase-laden, time-pressured passengers:

“If I clip his mirror, nobody says nothin’ to nobody. O.K.?”

We said, “Go for it,” and he inched through, without incident.
