Taxi Rider’s Revenge. A successful businessman flew to Vegas for a weekend of gambling. He lost the shirt off his back and
had nothing left but a quarter and the second half of his roundtrip
airline ticket. He knew 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 only one
cab waiting. He got in and explained his situation to the cabby. He
promised to send the driver the cost plus a five-dollar tip. He offered
his drivers license number, his business card, and a signed IOU, but
to no avail. The cabby said, “If you don’t have fifteen dollars, get
the hell out of my cab!” So the guy was forced to hitchhike to the
airport and barely caught his flight.
One year later the man 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 did he see out there at the end of a long line of cabs but
his old buddy, the one who had refused to give him a ride when he
was down on his luck. He stopped to think for a moment about how
he could get even.
He got in the first cab in the line and asked for the cost to the airport. “Fifteen bucks,” came the reply.
“And how much for you to give me a blowjob on the way?”
“What? Get the hell out of my cab.”
He then got in the back of each cab in the long line asking the
same questions and getting the same result. When he got to his old
friend at the back of the line, he got in and asked only the cost to the
airport. He agreed to the fifteen bucks, and off they went.
Then, as they drove slowly past the long line of cabs, the businessman looked out the window with a big smile and thumbs-up sign to
each driver.
