My Visit with Ahmadinejad

 

I walked out on the roof of my building the other day and was a little surprised to see someone who looked a lot like the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. As you probably know, he recently visited New York City for an appearance at the U.N. I might have been concerned to find the President of Iran on my roof -- except that this Ahmadinejad was actually participating in the filming of a Saturday Night Live skit that aired this past Saturday. If you caught it, you may have spotted the mural on the side of our building that says "Welcome to CitiStorage." If you missed it, you might want to check it out on youtube. It's pretty funny.
