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." <\/span><\/p>\n

Passenger: "Who?" <\/p>\n

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." <\/p>\n

Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody." <\/p>\n

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." <\/p>\n

Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special." <\/p>\n

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. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right." <\/p>\n

Passenger. "Wow, some guy then." <\/p>\n

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." <\/p>\n

Passenger. "Mmm, there’s not many like him around." <\/p>\n

Cabbie: "And, he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would 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." <\/p>\n

Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?" <\/p>\n

Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Frank." <\/p>\n

Passenger: "Then how do you know so much about him?" <\/p>\n

Cabbie: "I married his goddamn widow."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
