Yes, it’s a fire engine with a box on it, and no, I can’t explain it.

Temporary fires station nearby?

I kinda want to own a box like that... As a Garage/fort/storage

To keep the crackies from trying to take shit off of it. In SF I saw a guy taking apart a shop vac, I assume in his crackie mind it must have sucked up some gold.

There’s a fire house on 77th, 3 blocks away - that must be it.

Upper West Side - been here since 2001 and never seen a crackhead. But you’re right I think - someone might steal something off it. I, for instance, have always wanted a Mack bulldog off the front.

It reminds me of when I stayed in a crappy hotel in Leyland, Lancashire, England. It had a Leyland fire engine in a glass box out from, I think they called it the Leyland Guardian or something, in homage to the Leyland vehicles that were made locally.

I jokingly said to the receptionist on checking in, “I suppose you just break the glass in the case of an emergency”, she looked back at me and said “no” but without a look of I’d just told her she had the ugliest baby in the world.

I thought it was funny. Man was it a crap hotel.

That was a great joke - it landed. She has no soul.

This remains my favorite fire engine, however:

Speaking of jokes - going to lunch with a work pal, walked by this, and before I could stop it I said: “huh, Schindler’s lift.:” We both laughed harder than we should have.

I saw something similar a while back and also my mind read Schindler before reading Schneider. Lol.

Not a connected joke but here goes.

I keep a picture of my wife and children in my wallet, it reminds me why I don’t have any money in it.

That might be a Henny Youngman joke. And although I don’t go to comic cons, I’ve always wanted to walk up to two guys both dressed as The Highlander and say: “I thought there could be only one.”
