"Just Like Frank..."

A guy walks into the street and manages to hail a taxi just as it's passing by. He hops into the taxi, and the cabby says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Frank."

Passenger: "Who?"

Cabby: "Frank. Frank Feldman. He's 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 each and every single time."

Passenger: "Yeah, but there are always a few clouds over everybody."

Cabby: "Not over 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. He was just one amazing guy."

Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special."

Cabby: "Oh, 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. But Frank, he could do everything right."

Passenger. "Wow, some guy then."

Cabby: "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. Never."

Passenger. "Mmm, there's not many like him around."

Cabby: "And he really 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, his shoes highly polished -- like mirrors, they were. Frank 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?"

Cabby: "Well, I never actually met Frank."

Passenger: "Then how do you know so much about him?"

Cabby: "I married his %$#@! widow."

you should have posted a spill alert, now I have to wipe all that tea from my monitor...
 
Oh yeah that's a good one alright.
 
Good 'un, Bill - but it definitely deserved a spew alert!
 
Nope. No keyboard alert until Cassie gets pomegranate 'rita-scented nasal passages...

Wow! Two hours and twenty minutes has gotta be a new record for the Great Hall Echo kicking in. Aha -- new Castle, new Great Hall, new Great Hall Echo. Odd that Brab should have triggered it though, since she's the one who gave BCR the booby-trap schematics...
 
I was hoping for "... standing up, in a hammock." Cheers
 
LOLOLOLOLOL.... i like it!
 
Whoops - that test wasn't supposed to show up, darn it! BCR and I are working on a brand new, Improved Castle Echo. Notice the delay factor? *mumble ... darn twitchy fingers*
 
JMH -- you'll have to go to the fourth comment for "...standing up, in a hammock."
 
*mumble ... darn twitchy fingers* And you want to make 'em twitch *worse* by getting a mouse pad with moi on it?!?
 
But with a name like Frank, he had to be a good guy. LOL
 
I think that Chief Bill has always been frank with us.
