Recent AOL Mail research reveals that New Yorkers are fanatical about checking their emails—more than anyone else in the U.S. of A. The stats: one in six New Yorkers check their email as soon they wake up [insert inappropriate joke here]; 61% in the bathroom [insert immature joke here] and 60% in a restaurant [uh, yeah, nevermind--funny or offensive? not so much].
The excellent reporters at the NY Daily News took to the littered streets of NYC to see if they could find some zany crackberry-heads, and oh, did they hit jackpot with one in particular:
“I was getting taken in for appendicitis and I checked my e-mail in the back of the ambulance.”
…ahem…
Yes, well…
I think if that was me, I would’ve been using that little device as a weapon (hey, it worked for Naomi Campbell) to demand more painkillers. I’m just saying.
