Tales of "The Real Balloon Delivery Men of NYC"

"The Real Balloon Delivery Men of NYC" - Journal Entry #3

After 10 deliveries in a matter of 2 hours, Manhattan security levels, and Manhattan traffic, our delivery man gets to his last stop.  The security guard is new and puts our delivery guy through a battery of questions - "Who is this delivery for?" "Do you have a floor number?" "Do they know you are coming with the delivery?" and so forth.  After a few more questions, the security guard asks our delivery guy, Pete, for his company name and address, to which Pete promptly answers, "Don't you know the address here? You work here. don't you?  You should at least know your work address?" 

Watching the guards face change to a look of confusion, Pete suddenly realized that his long day was just getting longer by the minute!  "Yessir, I know the address here where I work - but are you feeling okay?", was the response from the guard, who then let Pete go right up to make his delivery.  See - there are plenty of compassionate New Yorkers!!!
