Interestin article I thought,

SADDAM Hussein, Madonna and the Dow Jones index were the toast of pizza delivery boys in 2003, according to a survey that found links between America's favourite takeaway and how customers respond to the world at large.

 

The poll of 60 outlets, conducted by Domino's Pizza, found that the day of Saddam's capture gave delivery drivers with their biggest "tips night" of the year, closely followed by the night Madonna smooched Britney Spears at the MTV awards.

A surge in the Dow Jones index beyond the 10,000-point mark was matched that day by a leap in the number of tips that topped 20 per cent.

 

According to the survey released this week, pizza deliveries could offer insights into the working of US society.

 

Nudity, for example, demonstrated surprising links with largesse and weather conditions. Nine per cent of people who answered the door naked gave a tip of more than 20 per cent, compared with only 2 per cent of those wearing pyjamas. And on snowy days, customers were three times more likely to greet pizza drivers in the buff.

 

Domino's spokesman Frank Meeks said the company had for years tracked pizza deliveries and uncovered correlations between ordering and tipping trends and world events.

 

"This year with so many events like the capture of Saddam, pizza delivery drivers had an opportunity more than ever to be the eyes of the world and tell us what people are really thinking," Mr Meeks said.

 

President George W. Bush's announcement of the war with Iraq triggered the second largest pizza-ordering night of the year. The top spot coincided with the wedding of Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter on ABC's reality show The Bachelorette.

 

Topping the list of fake names given by people ordering pizzas was Paris Hilton.

I think the real question is why do they so thuroughly study this... Aren't there more important things in life to study???--- LIKE WHICH CHICK IS HOTTER (see contest board) ---

I forgot all the good times I had deliverying pizza. My car always smelled like a pizza. The most fun was the regulars who would always order the same thing at the same time. There were pecking orders to see who got to deliver. Poor tippers went to the new guy, big tippers went to me.

 

Inscientific survey based on clothes and attitude:

 

Old people have pizza then sex

Young people have pizza during and after sex.
