Heard on local afternoon talk radio

Street vendors and local shop owners seem to be the real winners this week, as unpredicted thunderstorms continue to wash through the city for the third consecutive day. Most have taken to leaving umbrella displays in plain sight at the front of stores and on prominent street corners even when the sun is shining, and locals are often seen buying two or three to get them through the day. If this keeps up, the City may have to increase waste pickup, as the streets and trashcans are starting to overflow with broken and discarded umbrellas.

Local meteorologists are keeping a low profile, many only venturing out into public in disguise, with scenes from The Weatherman being re enacted all over the city, as New Yorkers are finding that throwing fast food is a great expression of their frustration at the recent lack of accurate reporting.
