Here's a New Yorker snow-shoveling ID joke:
In New York City they just passed a new law: you now need valid government-issued ID to shovel snow.A guy on the Upper West Side gets stopped mid-shovel by two cops.“Sir, can I see your ID please?”“What for? I’m just clearing my own sidewalk!”“Exactly. We’ve had too many incidents of non-resident shovelers taking our precious sidewalk real estate. You could be from… New Jersey.”The guy sighs, pulls out his wallet.“Fine. Here’s my driver’s license.”Cop looks at it, squints.“Sir, this says you were born in 1987.”“Yeah, so?”“That makes you Generation Z. We’re gonna need to see your emotional support latte receipt and proof you’ve cried about climate change in the last 30 days before you can continue shoveling.”Moral of the story: in NYC even the snow is gentrified now.
A Brooklyn guy hears Mayor Mamdani's call for emergency snow shovelers and shows up at the sanitation garage, shovel in hand, ready to make that sweet $19.14 an
