I am quite familiar with this material.

So I was walking across the Greenway the other day and suddenly was hit with a very familiar odor. Mainly, horse manure. I probably know that smell better than most people seeing as I've shoveled it multiple times, and that's a smell you don't forget.
So I sniffed and covered my nose, since it was about 90 degrees out, and someone standing next to me on the curb said "What is that smell?"
"Horse manure," I replied, and they gave me an odd look.
"There are no horses in Boston!" they said.
I then pointed to a bag of fertilizer next to the flower bed.
"Oh," they replied.
I decided to not be a wiseass and point out that we do indeed have horses, mainly the ones who pull carriages and the police horses.
City folks.
