New York Summer Storm Recipe - Serve Steaming with a Splash of Water

Ingredients:
Rain
Humid Air
Lightning
People
Mass Transit
Sweat

Directions:
Combine 2-3 hours worth of rain, lightning and tornado warnings at 3 am. Let stand til morning. Toss in a few million people trying to get to work. Block off all subway lines because of flooding from earlier rain to create a tight mixture on the streets of your people/rain combination. (Chef's note: though rain has stopped, the puddles and raindrops from scaffolding will keep the people moist during this step.) Pour sweat into the combo on the streets - varying amounts, but enough to soak mens' dress shirts and melt ladies' makeup. Add smells "to taste" - I use either meat kabob sidewalk stands or blocked up sewage. Delay mixture in steaming oven until one hour after scheduled work start time.

And wa-la! An entire city serving worth of stories of morning adventures to work!
