Can't They Run?

Yesterday, at four o'clock in the afternoon, I went running on 150th Street. As you know, construction is going on there. When the construction started, we know; but when it will end, we don't know. A middle-aged man said to me, "Boss, why do you have to run? You can't make your boys and girls run for you?" Then he ran with me.
