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.  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 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 Feldman, he 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."




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




Cabbie:  "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, 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 "

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

Cabbie:  "I married his fucking widow
