New York City

New Yorkers Plugged In

There is much dissention among New Yorkers these days. Is our city too much trouble for the expense? Is the nightlife, which is a big draw for tourists, too much of a bother for the locals? Is the arrival of Trader Joe's the last straw, the final signal that New York is one gigantic, vertical suburbia?

Well, at least there is one more thing over which New Yorkers can continue to proudly assert their dominance: toilet clogs. That's right, according to a recent survey, New York City leads the nation in clogged toilets, with Miami and Los Angeles  trailing close, erm, behind. It makes sense--New Yorkers are well known for refusing to hold anything in.

Seattle, meanwhile, takes top honors in regularity, as the most clog-free city in the nation. Pshaw. We'll take a dirty water hot dog over the colon-friendly health food over there any day.
