Open Letter

Dear Gentleman on the Coney Island-bound Q Train yesterday circa 6:45PM:

Sir it is OK to use deodorant. More than OK it is the preferred choice of all of those around you who are sharing this cramped hot Sardinian space with you.

We do not share your love of the funk (unless that is the Parliament-Funkadelic and then, yes, and I believe that I can speak for all us of, we do). I you can’t do it for yourself, do it for The City. Do it for the children.

And me. Mostly do it for me.
Thank you.
