Early this morning, a noxious odor filled Vote Basset headquarters, choking volunteers and sending everyone running for the door. When interviewed, those who were inside the building claimed they were suddenly enveloped in a rotten stench that made their throats burn, their eyes water and their noses curl.

Haz mat teams from surrounding towns were called in to help track down the source of the odor but by the time they arrived, the smell had disipated and no one was sure where it had originated.

After setting up fans to completely air out the building, EPA officials gave the all clear when air quality tests came back clean. “We take all reports of toxic vapors very seriously”, Jill Woofenstein field agent for the EPA told us. “Test results show that the air quality inside the building is as good as it can be. All tests came back negative”. When asked about the source of the smell, Ms Woofenstein told us that at this point it was unclear where the odor originated, but that they would come back immediately if any further vapors were detected.

When asked for comment, Hoss was quoted as saying, “I think it might have been Uncle Irv!”
