Just saw him profiled on CBS This Morning. He is a very interesting man.

[TheLordMilton]

@mrainwater12 : Hardly interesting, more a street hawker making 4 times the profit he bought the damn things for, old pal:

I saw him. In green brooklyn. I thought he was a hobo.

O_o

BUT HE'S A MILLION AIR!

[zombiepi]

damn I need one

[flowerpt]

Yes, they are great peelers. His may be made in Switzerland but you can find them in most kitchen stores. I've had one for a decade. If you're walking by and want one $5 is certainly worth the gas savings.

I've seen this guy on 86th street

[198da]

This guy is my uncle! That's awesome!

[davew244]

I bought several of the peelers as stocking stuffers after watching his amusing sales pitch. A nice little item.

[wooooooper]

btw his name is Joe Ades

[wooooooper]

great guy...unfortunately today a cop took all his merchandise without an explanation and just left..the customers were outraged but he did not look a bit bothered, just a slight look of disappointment..I am sure that cop will regret doing that

[sferb]

omg! how could anyone do that to an old man who's working as hard as this guy? I'm outraged... just speechless. bad karma.

[cookiemnster73]

worse than that, here's a guy who is working, not begging/robbing on the street. I'd think there might be a couple thousand crimes that could be investigated instead.

[entity3sf]

Same attitude as those lazy pigs who stood around scratching their fat asses while women were being assaulted during that Festival some years back.

Wow, N.Y.'s finest; finest scum.

[MrMikeboyle]

@entity3sf YOU MUST BE REFERRING TO YOURSELF CREEP
