more rules that rule
as you already know, i'm a fan of rules. my rules.
for example, there should be some sort of walking test for people who want to live or visit nyc. this test would be even more difficult than a driving test, and you would only pass if you were able to walk at a decent clip, alone or in groups, without getting in the way of other pedestrians.
another rule i would instigate would be for hiring practices at corporations for entry level assistant positions. i wouldn't care if you went to an ivy league school or college at all. that crap prepares you for nothing, especially those who went to cornell. oh snap. if i were the head of human resources, let's say, i would require two tests for getting hired: working a printer and working a copy machine. can you figure out why something isn't printing? perhaps it is a paper jam, lack of paper, you thought you pressed print but didn't, etc. if you are able to figure out these problems and bonus points if you can do it without talking out loud to yourself, you're hired.

what about whistling?
that loud annoying whistling that is actually doubling for 'SOMEONE, ANYONE COME DO THIS FOR ME -whistle whistle whislte!'
either ask for help or stfu with the whistling.
that person wouldn't have been hired in the first place under my rules.
Another skill maybe to be tested for is transfer a call. They don't teach that at Cornell.
On the locomotion side, I agree: NYC needs the Walking License. To acquire one, you will need to demonstrate, in addition to walking at a good clip, and in a straight line, the capacity to understand basic traffic rules (e.g. slow lane on the right--especially important when ascending or descending staircases or escalators).
i agree, walter, especially with the stair and escalator etiquette.
another oh snap to cornell. hee hee.
