A man walks into the street and manages to get a taxi which is just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Frank."
"Who?"
"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."
"There are always a few clouds over everybody."
"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."
"Sounds like he was something really special"
"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."
"Wow, some man about town then"
"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."
"Mmm, there's not many like him around."
"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."
"An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"
"Well, I never actually met Frank."
"Then how do you know so much about him?"
"I married his f...ing widow!!"
"Who?"
