I Smell A Rat!

So I saw it today....I was walking to the store during lunch to grab
some chips to go with my sandwich. I looked down the block and there
was a giant 40 foot tall gray inflatable rat outside an office
building. This sight was very unusual to me although I'd heard of this
practice. Whenever a building is doing renovations and does not use
union labor the unies protest by sitting this big ugly rat in front of
the building so all the world will know that they aren't using union
labor...THAT'LL TEACH 'EM! It was pretty funny because I can't imagine
grown-ups doing something like this?? But apparently they do...

Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera or camera phone to capture the
rat on film because it kinda looks like a rat that is in the
rigor mortis phase of death with it's hands and feet stretched out
rigidly....very scary but an interesting lunch time find. So if you see
the giant rat when you're in New York, it's not preparation for the
Thanksgiving Day Parade...it's the union protesting the wrongs of
society.
