The
Las Vegas Cab Ride
A successful 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, etc. but to no avail.
The cabbie said (adopt appropriate dialect), "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 a blow-job 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.
