I swear it was Oreos. All of a sudden I REALLY wanted Oreos.

I was on the Q train at 57th street and heard the conductor doing a sound test with the guy in the center who does the announcements. I wish this was verbatim but all I could make out was them talking about B.O. I could imagine the conductor and announcer rooms getting lots of B.O. because they’re very small spaces and I imagine those guys work long shifts in that confined area.
Someone please answer this if you know, but is there just one cheap ass perfume out there that tons of people wear or do all cheap perfume smell exactly the same? You know what I’m talking about, you have some older woman in front of you in line and you really don’t want to be smelling them because they reek of really cheap perfume. What is it????
I got on a subway train where there was a guy sleeping face down. As per usual there weren’t a lot of people around him so my first thought is “aw crap I’m going to have to change cars because of the stink.” Turns out he didn’t smell bad at all. Still, I went to the other side of the train.
This one goes to my friend J.C. (no you silly, it’s not Jesus Christ). We were with friends talking about Black Friday and he made mention of the smell in a mall on Black Friday. I’ve never experienced this, not 100% sure it’s true but it’s not something I’d really want to take bets on either. I rarely ever buy anything just randomly going to a mall. I usually just think of what I want to get someone and search online.
Actually I was going into a Chinatown subway station car when I could’ve sworn that I smelled cookies n’ cream ice cream. Had I smelled it on the street before walking to the station I most certainly would’ve lost the craving because I was walking past one of the worst smelling areas of Chinatown I ever have to frequent, and I DO frequent it. Deli didn’t have any cookies n’ cream ice cream though 
I always think this whenever I smell really crappy incense in my apartment building. Whether or not they’re actually smoking up and trying to conceal the smell with incense is open to debate. Seriously though if you’re going to burn incense, don’t burn that crappy stuff the guy on the sidewalk is selling. I always hate being downwind from those incense sellers because it always smells really terrible.
It’s true, I’m out of ideas right now (or as I wrote this one) because when I run out of ideas I do fart jokes! This is a lack of continuity strip because as soon as I finished it I realized it was completely out of character since he always tries to cover up his flatulence. This is a tribute to one of my best friends. Whether or not this aspect of his personality needs a tribute is debatable. Anyway, he can be a pretty serious person at times, but he finds bodily functions hilarious. I said to him once that he could amuse himself if he was locked in a closet. Turns out though that he only finds them funny when inflicted upon other people. Actually that sounds too sinister, it’s just the fact that someone else was around for it he finds hilarious, but if it happens when he’s by himself it’s not funny at all.
Now I’m asking myself why in the hell did I ever do this strip?
No matter the circumstances you never want to be the one leaving when someone is entering.
I know I’ve talked about smells on the subway many times, but that’s just because it’s a constant thing on the subway. This is a common feeling of paranoia that I have when I can’t trace a smell. I sometimes move around in my seat wondering was there something on the seat that didn’t really register when in actuality the seat has some schmutz on it or some sort of questionable liquid. Sometimes I’ll even go so far as feeling the seat to see if it’s anything but smooth. So far it’s been fine every time *knock on wood* but that doesn’t make me any less paranoid.
Speaking of subway related things. Gothamist recently pointed to this person’s blog for Subway Strategies. If you’ve been reading my comic for a while this is nothing you don’t already know, but it’s still kind of amusing to see all the strategies in one place. Anyone who lives in a major urban area probably knows these by heart already, and if they don’t they should.
