Naw.. works for me just fine. Did you pay your Google bill this month? I know its getting more and more expensive but its like oil.. we can't live without it!
Doesn't surprise me that Texans may have started this phrase.
They've made a number of jokes at NY's expense over the years,
with the "Pace Picante sauce" commercials being some of the most famous ones
of late.
Not that I mind most of them....but the older Pace commercials claimed that someone
had a picante sauce made in NYC (which scandalized the cowboys present since
Pace is made in San Antonio), and I have NEVER found one made in NYC, no matter
who I asked nor where I looked. They generally had a punchline after that,
usually one with a punishment for the person who dared to slip them the non-Texas
picante sauce, which I thought was at least amusing, but I suppose they changed it
because there IS no such sauce to compare it to. That was my guess, anyway.
Originally, the commercials had one of the cowboys claiming that the rival picante sauce was made in New Jersey. If I remember correctly, there was actually a picante sauce made in New Jersey, the makers threatened legal action, it got changed to NYC...

It's based on the idea that New Yorkers, who do everything fast and rush about,
have minutes that are remarkably fast, too.

I'm a New Yorker that lives in Texas...
I only heard that a "New York minute" was the time it took between the light turning red and the sound of a car horn sounding for you to GO!
If you knew the driving conditions down here - this would make you laugh..

OK - new description of New York minute:
The amount of time between a TWI-er using the word, "luck" and getting reproved for it.

I missed the part where it started in Texas... I thought that Johnny Carson started it. Can someone please get that quote for me?
