Oompah

I would have edited out the portion in which I get on the L train, but it should be noted that the elderly bum lying sideways on the seat like a dead seal (i.e., briefly glimpsed) smelled of rank intestinal substances, which is why no one was sitting near him. Thank God the aroma was diluted somewhat by other bodies and scents, but this, ladies and gentleman, is the New York subway system at times. The smellies do what they want.

  1. Not to sound like D.Z., but maybe if Bloomberg spent more time worrying about shelters and rehabs instead of whether people had too many grains of salt on their saltines, he might have a better place to chill.

  2. But, Disco, that would require a mayor who actually cares about the human beings in his city, rather than making every decision based solely on whether it’s good or bad for business in general, and frequently the specific businesses which he lied about divesting himself of interest in.
