Knew the story

I know the deal very well and it is nonsense.

Oh boy,now let me explain it to you.I lived in NYC a bit longer than you and from the time I was a kid that story was always said in a rhetorical way.It was never meant to be taken as fact.
Maybe it's just a culture thing between Manhattan and Brooklyn.I think Artie,who's a Brooklyn boy,saw it in the context I typed it in.
Anyway how about watching where you dove into the Hudson River?Had to be careful your head didn't get stuck in an old milk can.(That was another NYC urban legend).
20 more to go.
