The park before the Plaza Hotel in New York has a fountain bordered by leafy shade trees. Most people avoid sitting on the stone ledges or benches, since thousands of pigeon rest on the branches and thousands of them defecate every day. These two women ignore the danger to eat ice cream out of the sun.
Something bad was bound to happen.
Pigeons are nasty.
And the park surface is even nastier.
Stupid, but they were alone.
Texters are oblivious to everything other than what is on their phones.
