A businessman flew to Vegas
for the weekend to gamble. He lost
the shirt off his back, and
had nothing left but a quarter and
the second half of his
round-trip ticket. If he could just get
to the airport he could get
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
drivers license number, his address,
all 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 hitch-
hike to the airport and was
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 time
he 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 ride when
he was down on his luck. The
businessman thought for a moment
about how he could make the
guy pay for his lack of charity,
and he hit on a plan.
The businessman got in the
first cab in the line, "How much
for a ride to the
airport," he asked?
"Fifteen bucks,"
came the reply.
"And how much for you
to give me oral sex on the way?"
"What? Get the hell out
of my cab!"
The businessman got into the
back of each cab in the long line
and asked the same
questions, 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."
The businessman said
"OK," and off they went.
Then, as they drove slowly
past the long line of cabs the
businessman gave a big smile
and thumbs up sign to each driver.
