Return of the stink trees brings gasps of disgust, runny eyes to tony Back Bay

Penny Cherubino reports the ailanthus are busting out in alleys across the neighborhood, making the place smell like cat urine again:

As the blossoms scatter they cover cars, sidewalks, fill puddles and make noses itch.

Last year's discussion, in which some people opined the trees smell like something other than cat urine.

We got candy factories.

ObJewishJoke: Bernstein, on a rural vacation, sees a farmer with a wheelbarrow.

Bernstein: What's in the wheelbarrow?
Farmer: Manure.
Bernstein: Manure? What for?
Farmer: I spread it over the strawberries.
Bernstein: You should come over here for lunch some time. We use sour cream.

You just reminded me of one of my favorite jokes of all time.

First Woman: So, how was dinner at that new fancy-schmancy restaurant?

Second Woman: Oh, it was horrible! The salad was wilted, limp, and brown. The consomme tasted like there was soap in it. The steak was tough and stringy and it was overdone like a charcoal briquette. The mashed potatoes were obviously from a box of instant, and the gravy looked as though it had congealed. Then the dessert! Ugh. I found a roach in my lemon creme pie!

First Woman: Oh, that sounds horrible! I guess you won't be going back there again!

Second Woman: Not a chance. They serve such small portions!
