I think you are wrong there anyway, if you mean eat.
There seems to be a professional courtesy between alligators and bankers
down in the sewers.

A doctor, a priest, and a lawyer are adrift on a raft in the south
Pacific. They're just about out of water, food, and hope, when they spot
a small island. Only problem is, between the raft and the island is a
large hungry school of tiger sharks.
The doctor insists, "I'll swim for the island and bring back coconuts
and maybe even help. If the sharks attack me, with my medical knowledge
I'll be able to tend to my wounds." The priest says, "No, no my son, I
shall swim for the island. I will pray as soon as I hit the water and
with my connections I'm sure to make it."
While the doctor and priest are arguing over who is to go, the lawyer
dives into the water and swims toward the island. Miraculously, the
sharks move away and clear a path for the attorney. A little while
later, the barrister returns to the raft with a lovely bunch of
coconuts. And again the sharks clear a path for him.
He finally gets to the raft and the bewildered doctor and priest ask him
what was the source of this miracle, and he replied, "Professional
courtesy, of course!"

When I was a corporate geek I was commuting in from central Nassau
County on Long Island. The trip, door-to-door took just under two hours
each way. I moved up to Stamford, CT and continued the trip into the
city in a little less time. When I moved up here to the Hudson Valley,
same thing. It's spending 4 hours a day getting to and from work that's
the killer but the money was good and there weren't that many similar
jobs closer to where I lived.

Connecticut, or Westchester County, New York, and mostly took the
commuter trains, an average of about 35 minutes train travel time, plus
however long it got to get to and from the train station.

They live all over the tri-state area. Locals can walk, as there is a
lot of housing nearby. Those who live at greater distances can take
buses, the subway, commuter rail, bike, Segway, skates, water ferry
or vehicle.
The sewer dwellers have a ladder.

Assuming that we're leaving out the people for whom the answer to question
number two is "chauffered limo"...Wall Street area employees have a lot of
options, depending on their tolerance for travel and where they want to/can
afford to live. I'm not sure which options are the most popular. I've heard
that the younger/hipper Wall Streeters have taken to living in Hoboken and
Jersey City, which are served by a subway-type train called PATH. It takes 10
minutes from Hoboken and four minutes from the Jersey City waterfront to
reach PATH's terminal at the World Trade Center site, which is a few blocks
from Wall Street; trains run every six minutes during rush hour.
At the other (geographic) extreme, people do commute to NYC from the Trenton
area and beyond. Allow an hour to take an NJ Transit commuter train from
downtown Trenton to Newark Penn Station (more if you get stuck taking a non-
express train); cross the platform and a PATH train will take you to the WTC
in about 22 minutes.
And the Wall Street area is served by various NYC subway lines, some of which
connect to commuter trains to other parts of the region. I've heard that
there's private bus service from some towns, and the Staten Island Ferry goes
to that general vicinity too.

Yeah, but his apartment is so small that:
When he orders a large pizza he has to go outside to eat it.
He has to go outside to change his mind.
When he put the key in the door he broke a window.

Is this just the weekday apartment and he joins his family in their
real house on the weekends? I hear about such arrangements. I can
see this for a limited time, but as an open-ended deal it seems
brutal. Unless he and his family don't like each other, of course.

I was vaguely remembering reports about regular helicopter flights to Wall
Street, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_Manhattan_Heliport seems
to have a report that suggests there were indeed plans to do so by Pan Am.
I don't think that was the one I was thinking of though, I seem to remember

I heard it in a slightly different way a long time ago from a friend
of mine. He was in a crowded bar in New York. He sees a guy pushing
his way through the crowd. As the guy gets closer, my friend
recognizes the guy as a well known movie actor. They came face to
face as the actor made his way past my friend, who'd been at the bar
for a while if you catch my drift. The best thing my friend could come
up with, given his condition, to say to the actor was:
"You look just like what's-his-name."
To which the actor replied, "I am him."
My friend responded, "No, you're not.".

I may have told this one before, but a few years back I was standing in
front of Skitch Henderson's farmhouse [Hunt Hill Farm, New Milford, CT],
directing traffic, when a fancy automobile drove up, the passenger-side
window lowered, and a woman inside leaned out and inquired "Are you
Skitch Henderson?". To which I replied "Not yet".

Oh come on, get real. A space that small would be impossible to cross
in 2 hours -- pick one thing up in font of you, move to where it was,
and put the one thing down again where it was. Turn to face forwards

No, it isn't professional courtesy. The Sewergators find then distasteful.
