"It is a joke, especially in New York City, to define a New York minute as the amount of time between the light in front of you turning green and the taxicab behind you honking" Do NY-ers really imagine that you can wait a full minute (60 seconds) at a green light anywhere else in the world without being honked at? --Random832^T 19:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

No. Just in Indiana. Kafziel ^Talk 16:53, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

This is a joke from Terry Pratchett novel (don't remeber which) - and it's "new york second". I don't think this belongs here... Anyone with a reason it does, please chime in. Lundse 11:52, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
