The Union Square Peeler Man





Joe Ades sold peelers for 5 dollars in union square for 15 years. He died last week. legend has it he made 6 figures, which means would have had to sell about 60 an hour.

so thats 3 per pitch at 20 pitches an hour, 3 minute pitch in the one of the busiest squares in the world.

its possible he really did make 6 figures.

by the way, i tracked down those peelers. if you wanna buy em cheap and use them for pitching yourself, you can find them here:
