Whichever Of Youse Smelt It . . .

I wouldn’t expect New Jersey officials to accept theories about the origin of the mysterious smell without at least a token protest:

Garden State officials slammed New York City bigwigs yesterday for blaming New Jersey for the mighty stench that blanketed swaths of the city on Monday.

“It looks an awful lot like jumping to conclusions,” Lisa Jackson, New Jersey commissioner for environmental protection, told The Associated Press.

. . .

Amid the finger-pointing, neither state was any closer to finding the exact cause of the gaseous smell, which forced the evacuation of schools, stores and offices in Manhattan.
