kimblanchard Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 A taxi driver and a preacher make it to the pearly gates together, and St. Peter talks to them both. The preacher is admitted, and he has a nice little cottage with a picket fence. The cab driver gets a plush estate with a mansion on a hill, complete with body servants and a swimming pool. The cab driver asked Peter. "I am a humble man and did humble work while this preacher worked to save souls his whole life. Why such a reward for me?" Peter said, "Up here, we go by results. When he preached, the people slept. But when you drove, the people prayed." Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I have been to New York and to Boston. I know the feeling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debi Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hey, I used to drive a cab in New York...gimme a %&$*#&%^@* break here. However, I will admit that I may have made a few people pray. Especially that man who upon getting into the cab said "oh great, I have to make a train in 2 minutes and I get a WOMAN driver". Needless to say, he made his train AND found religion in the same trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 okdebi.......... that is funny. Was that professionalism, as a dedicated taxi driver, an angel just helping the Big Man and His Cause a little girl driving a big car in a big city who wanted a tip or just a little passive/aggressive behavior? By the way, I have been hearing about that noodlin' they have going on down there in Oklahoma...have you heard of that, yet?

Nushka Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 My husband isn't a taxi driver but I am sure he will get the mansion when he gets there...I pray the entire trip. Hmmm, wonder if he will let me live with him? Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Sounds like "Kamikaze Karl", the cab driver we hired from the airport in New Orleans to get us to our hotel....guess we should have designated that we wanted to arrive in dry pants...
