	Yes.  Simply take any one of a number of the Hudson River crossings
but zoom through the toolbooth without stopping.  You didn't say anything
about it having to be legal, did you?  The conventional answer is, of
course, no, but nobody ever accused me of being a conventional thinker.

	Depending on your definition of "huge detour", your only rational
choices for getting from New Jersey to Manhattan involve at least one of
Outerbridge Crossing, Goethels Bridge, Bayonne Bridge, Holland Tunnel,
Lincoln Tunnel, George Washington Bridge or Tappan Zee Bridge, all of which
require tolls in the NJ->NY direction.
