Three sourpuss Parks Department agents put the squeeze on a 10-year-old girl in Riverside Park yesterday, slapping the tyke with a $50 ticket for hawking lemonade without a permit.The father-daughter team was able to sell 10 glasses of the ice-cold drink for 50 cents each and the dozen chocolate chip cookies they baked.But their day turned into the pits at 3 p.m. when the heartless pack of city sticklers iced their operation."They approached us nonchalantly but then surrounded us," the peeved papa recalled. "They were very hostile as soon as they approached, saying 'Where's your permit? Where's your permit?' "
The good news is that the NYC Parks Commissioner voided the ticket after publicity spread and said that the eedjust will be "re-trained on rules and regulations and will be reassigned."
Hey, when I was her age, I was making my summer money with a Kool-Aid stand (actually, I bought the cheap "Cheeri Aid" crap they sold at the A&P) up in Reservoir Oval Park. I was smart - I got a position near the basketball courts, where guys playing in full sun would throw me a dollar and say, "Keep the change."
Stupid parkies.

You're a mean woman, DH... a mean woman ;)
But you got that cool style that only an orthodox Catholic chick could have.
This is the end result of living in the new Afrika.
