You know what they say: If you’re not first, you’re last. Just ask Greg Packer, the first man in the iPhone line at the Fifth Avenue Apple store in New York City. Packer has been in line since Monday at 5 a.m., and has gained a certain notoriety, not to mention hordes of reporter interviews.

We also decided to ask him a few questions.

Q: Are you a professional advertiser?

A: No.

Q: Then what’s all the swag for?

A: What do you mean? (We point to his T-shirt and various other items). Oh, it’s from Prizebook.com.

Q: Who will you call on your iPhone first?

A: Steve Jobs.

Q: Do you have his number?

A: I’m sure if I want it bad enough, I’ll get it.

Q: Do you plan to do any ad deals, or endorsements?

A: Not yet.

Q: Have you showered since you’ve been here?

A: No. Well, maybe once.

Q: Where do you pee?

A: They (the Apple store) have bathrooms down there.

Q: Do they let anybody else do that?

A: I don’t think so, no.

Q: Do you think you’ll ask Steve Jobs for a job?

A: No. I’d like to be at his next office party.

Q: There are reports that you are so often quoted by news outlets because you seek out reporting crews and behave as if you’re one more man on the street. What do you think about reports that the AP won’t quote you anymore because of this?

A: I think today is proving to them that they wasted their time and made a bad decision.

Q: How many interviews have you done on line this week?

A: I did anywhere from 50 to 100 interviews.
