I haven’t laughed so hard at a cartoon in a LONG time. Thanks for that, @patsmom!
I’ve seen it before, but it’s still hilarious!
Ditto!
For the teachers out there:
“Rage Against The Machine never specified exactly what machine they were furious with, but I am willing to bet it was a school photocopier.”
Even now, after all these years. 
Or a home printer.
Actually, something I say every single day, particularly in December. Along with walk on the right, walk no more than 2 abreast, and move to the side to look at your map. Those of us that live here year-round thank you in advance.
I no longer live in the area but still walk at a NY’ers pace. Friends and family noted that right after 9/11 New Yorkers slowed down, made eye contact with other pedestrians, smiled and greeted more people, in contrast to the head-down-motor-along -get-where- you-are-going pace.
As a lifetime New Yorker (except for ages 5-18 in a Levitt house and college in a small city SUNY), I disagree about eye contact. New Yorkers are not cold at all. They argue their disagreement in the streets and over the Brooklyn Bridge. But yes, in general we walk fast. I’m an old lady and can’t walk fast anymore but most everyone says excuse me as they pass me by.
No one said NY’ers are “cold”. But in all my many years spending time in NYC, many pedestrians walk with a “mission”, and often dodge/move around slower pedestrians. Nothing wrong with that. It was just described by many friends and family as a palatable difference right after 9/11. I was no longer living there at that time. YMMV
I also suggest stop looking up at the tall buildings when danger lurks in every bike lane. Being “speed bumped” by an e bike at 35 MPH can leave a mark.
My daughter was in her fourth day of Kindergarten in central Chinatown on 9/11/01. I had a car then and it happened in my rear-view mirror driving home–I didn’t even know until I went out to move my car at 10:30 for alt side parking. It was a crazy, crazy, crazy time for New Yorkers with bomb scares left and right (and up and down in the subway). I can only speak for myself and friends and family, but in general people reacted as you would expect after a human-made earthquake with aftershocks. It took at least a year for me (speaking for myself) to feel “normal.”
