As a result of media attention, much of it provided by Mr Damian, top doctors have discovered that association with the town of Poughkeepsie can significantly improve a range of synal maladies.

Specifically, they have discovered that the town's name has the property of extracting the maximum amount of mucous possible using the fewest syllables.

Dr Shavez from the Rin Tin-Tin Memorial Medical Center proudly announced that "Millions of Americans will never have to worry about troublesome mucous again."

A WHO study recently put the cost of mucous to the world's economy at $2bn. The news is sure to get a positive response from the nearby Albany, New York. That city produces enough tissues to reach to Mars and back every year.

There are no plans to continue the trend and turn the medical spotlight of the world on an another economically depressed area in the New York and New Jersey region.

"Frankly there just aren’t enough places with comedy names" a spokesman told us. We couldn't agree more.
