Sweaty Red Stick
Of the sweatiest cities in America, Baton Rouge ranks ninth, according to a study conducted by Old Spice, of all people. New Orleans ranks twelfth, Austin is twenty-third, and Boston is eightieth. San Francisco is the least sweatiest.
The people of Phoenix, the alleged sweatiest city, produce 26.4 ounces of sweat an hour — the equivalent of more than two cans of soda. An hour. Eww.
This is bullshit. Baton Rouge should be first. I’m sweating just thinking about it. Phoenix is a dry heat. They might get temperatures well above 100 but they don’t have the humidity. Spend the summer in South Louisiana and try not to be moist all day long.

That’s such crap. I get MUCH sweatier in Boston than I did in Vegas in June. (That’s what he said.)
Remember the first time we hung out, walking through Boston on the hottest day of the year? Not smart.
And the train I was on today had no AC. The poor guy in front of me was literally dripping onto my Metro.

I didn’t realize the MBTA had trains without AC. I’m thankful that the Green Line has never been intolerable in terms of temperature, even when hundreds of people are jam-packed like sardines.
