Highway sign: Welcome to New York City. Now go home. Button: Don't tell me what kind of day to have! Traffic rules: The biggest fastest thing in the intersection has the right of way. Drivers have the right of way over pedestrians whom they do not visibly acknowledge having seen. You can get away with anything you do smoothly enough. Lighthorn: The smallest unit of time. It's the time between when the traffic light in front of you turns green and when the cab driver behind you leans on the horn. Riddle: Q. What is a laid-back New Yorker? A. Someone who takes the local. [This last one may need some explanation. In many parts of New York, there are two subway lines running in parallel. One, the `local,' makes every stop. The other, the `express,' stops only at particular stations. If you're in a hurry, and your destination is not an express station, you get on an express at the first opportunity, then switch back to the local for the last few stops to your destination. This saves you time only if the express you're on overtakes the local ahead of the one you were previously on, but a lot of people do it anyway.]
