Another Great Oldie
A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, âPerfect timing. Youâre just like Frank.â
Passenger: âWho?â
Cabbie: âFrank Feldman. Heâs a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along just when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time.â
Passenger: âThere are always a few clouds over everybody.â
Cabbie: âNot Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy.â
Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special."
Cabbie: âThereâs more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybodyâs birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman could do everything right.
Passenger: âWow, some guy then.â
Cabbie: âHe always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too - He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman.â
Passenger: âAn amazing fellow. How did you meet him?â
Cabbie: âWell, I never actually met Frank. He died and I married his wife...â
