A random observation

I saw the news on the wires the other day about the "big stink" in New York City, and how many people are ascribing it to as-yet-unknown goings-on across the way in New Jersey:

Imagine, if you will, a really big elevator, with the states of New York and New Jersey inside. An unpleasant smell permeates the air. Each state looks at the other, eyes narrowing.

And in the background, a bad instrumental arrangement of "Girl From Ipanema" plays over the speaker.

It's the stuff great sketches are made of.
