"Why do some people use "how's it hanging?" as greeting? What is "it" referring to? It is often used in English without any very specific meaning, as in It’s raining. In How’s it hanging? it refers to life in general."
Just couldn't resist taking this with my cellphone on my way to the bank.

I was moved to leave him a $1 just for his marketing skills.
Midtown Manhattan - The Street Photographers wonderland. Never a dull moment.
Happy New Year to all.
