My Machine, She’s a Dud, All Stuck In The Mud…
By Mitch Berg
New York’s stench is apparently a Jersey swamp thing:
Across the length and breadth of Manhattan, people were asking, “What’s that smell?” after a pungent odor like natural gas or rotten eggs blanketed the borough and northern New Jersey for three hours yesterday morning.
By evening, the answer seemed to be a stinky gas emitted by a New Jersey swamp or marsh.
So the winner of the “Why Does NYC Stink” poll is “Jersey Swamp”.
I’m out $20; I had “the fetid stew of [frequent commenter] Angryclown’s ill-contained ire wafting in from Queens” or Lawn Gisland or whereever he lives…

Nah, that smell’s been leaking out of the Garden since the ’04 Republican convention.
That or the Knicks.
