Quiet in New York

A young American soldier who had been wounded in the Africa fighting, was ordered home as soon as he was fit to travel. Being from the middle west and never having seen New York City, the news that he was to be landed in New York brought him a big thrill. To him New York had always meant something highly exciting, glamorous, with great crowds of interesting people rushing hither and yon.

But they landed in New York on a Sunday morning, and when our young soldier hurried to the heart of the city to see the wonderful sights he had anticipated, he got a let-down that was shocking. Fifth Avenue was just a street, and a practically deserted street. There was no motor traffic but an occasional taxicab. Broadway was no better.

There was nothing noisy, exciting, or glamorous. So far as he was concerned it looked like Podunk, only bigger. So he walked up to a big Irish cop on the corner, and said to him:

"Officer, is this really New York City?"

The cop said: "Sure is, soldier. Why?"

So the boy told him of his great anticipations and expectations, and what a terrific disappointment he was having, New York City not being anything like what he had hoped for. The cop said:

"Well, soldier, I'll tell you. It's kind of a bad time. Sunday morning, you see. All the Catholics are in church. All the Protestants are in bed. And all the Jews are in Washington."
