I've lived in NYC too long, I guess! But it was stinky...I was just trying to save you from yourself. Uh, yes, SBW, that would be me ranting at you about your decades-old perfume.

The bus was standing room only, I saw no children/babies, and no one who looked like they didn't have a shower to go home to. I also had a ranter rant on my behalf (to my embarrassment)- At 8 months preggers, usually someone gives me a seat, but this one time I had to walk all the way to the back before some one got up. And then he proceeded to loudly announce how ashamed all the folks at the front should be for making a pregnant lady walk to the back, for not giving up their seats. And I agree with the first commenter- "The id has a metrocard" is a seriously funny line.
