In season there were always a few of the local urchins hanging about hoping for a fresh mango. When one did fall there was a scramble for the prize. Thanks for the thought and best of luck with your new job.
I'm 64 years old and have lived in NYC most of my life. (Birth to 26 and 52 to now.) And still, pretty much every day there are many things that make you go WHAT? or roll your eyes or burst out laughing. People here are not inhibited from deviating from the norm such that there seem to be few norms at all.
