A man walks into the street and manages to get 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. There's a guy who did everything right. Like my coming along when you needed a cab. It would have happened like that to Frank every single time.
Passenger: There are always a few clouds over everybody.
Cabbie: Not Frank. 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.
Passenger: Sounds like he was something really special.
Cabbie: There's more. He had a memory like a computer, could remember 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.
Passenger: Wow, some bloke 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.
Passenger: Mmmm, there's not many like him around.
Cabbie: And he knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good and never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too."
Passenger: An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?
Cabbie: Well, I never actually met Frank.
Passenger: Then how do you know so much about him?
Cabbie: I married his widow.
