A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by.
He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, 'Perfect timing........
You're just like Frank.
Passenger: 'Who?'
Cabbie: 'Frank Feldman.. He's a guy who did everything right all the time.
Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that
to Frank Feldman every single time.'
Passenger: 'There are always a few clouds over everybody.'
Cabbie: 'Not 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.'
Passenger: Sounds like he was something really special.
Cabbie: 'There's more. He had a memory like a computer.
He remembered everybody's 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: 'Wow, some guy then..'
Cabbie: 'He 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.'
Passenger: 'An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?'
Cabbie: 'Well, I never actually met Frank, ............he died and I married his f***ing wife'
