A man walked out to the street and caught a taxi just going by.
*
He got into the taxi and the cabbie said,*
*
"Perfect timing. You're just like Brian"*
*
Passenger: "Who?"
*
Cabbie: "Brian Sullivan. He's a guy who did everything right all the time.
Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happen like that to Brian every single time."*
*
Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."*
*
Cabbie: "Not Brian Sullivan. 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 remembered 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 Brian Sullivan, 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 Brian, he never made a mistake 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 polished too.*
He was the perfect man!*
He never made a mistake.*
*
No one could ever measure up to Brian Sullivan.."
*
Passenger: "An amazing fellow.*
How did you meet him?"*
*
Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met him. He died in a car crash and I married his widow.
