| ::: A Cruel Cabbie |
A successful businessman flew to Vegas
for the weekend to gamble.He
lost the shirt off his back,and
had nothing left buta
quarter and the second half of hisround
trip ticket. If he could just get to the airport he couldget
himself home.
So he went out to the front of the casino where there was a cab
waiting. He got in and explained his situation to the cabbie. He
promised to send the driver money from home, he offered him his
credit card numbers, his driver’s license number, his address,but
to no avail. The cabbie said: “If you don’t have fifteen dollars,
get
the hell out of my cab!” So the businessman was forced to hitchhike
to the airport andwas barely in
time to catch his flight.
One year later the businessman,having
worked long and hard to regain his financial success, returned
to Vegas and this timehe
won big. Feeling pretty good about himself, he went out to the
front of the casino to get a cab ride back to the airport. Well,
who
should he see out there, at the end of a long line of cabs, but
his old buddy who had refused to give him a ridewhen
he was down on his luck. The businessman thought for a moment
abouthow
he could make the guy pay for his lack of charity, andhe
hit on a plan.
The cabbie recognized the businessman and watched as he got into
the first cab in the line. After a short conversation the driver
became very agitated and screamed: “Get the hell out of my cab!”
The businessman got into the next cab, had another short conversation
and was again told: “Get the
hell out of my cab!” The businessman got into the back of each cab
in the long line with the same result.
When he got to his old friend at the back of the line, he got in
and asked “How much for a ride to the airport?” The cabbie replied,
“fifteen bucks, andI
bet you don’t have any money,right?” The businessman said,
“I have plenty of money” andflashed
a wad of bills, “Drive on”. As they drove slowly past the line
of cabsthe
businessman smiled as he gave the other cabbiesthe
thumbs up sign.
“I
don’t get it ,” said the driver when they came to the airport,
“why did the rest of the guys scream at you to get out of their
cabs?” – “I asked them if they’d give me ablow
job foran extra $15 ”.
