When I was in New York City, I saw the strangest thing. Well, you see a lot of strange things in New York but this was really strange. And, no, I did not see the naked singing cowboy.

But, as I was walking by a little park, I saw something very strange. Even for New York. There was a guy wearing a beret and a black and white striped shirt. He appeared to be French. But he was crawling on the ground, acting like he was trying to dig his way back home but he couldn't get there. He just kept moving around on all fours, pawing at the ground. It was quite a sight and a crowd was gathering.

I stood there watching. Actually, it took me quite awhile to figure this sight out.

He was a ....

a land mime.

(Gotcha!)
