Just a place for my thoughts

I get the best e mails...

A man walks to 5th Ave. & 42nd St. in New York City during a downpour
and somehow manages to hail a taxi immediately. He gets into the taxi,
and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Sheldon."

"Who?"

"Sheldon Cohen. There's a guy who did everything right. Like my cab
being vacant during a rainstorm. It would have happened like that for
Sheldon every single time."

"Well, no one is perfect. There are always a few clouds over everybody", stated the passenger.

"Not Sheldon," said the cabbie. "He was a terrific athlete. He could
have gone on the pro tour in tennis He could golf like Tiger Woods.

He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star.
Handsome and sophisticated, more than Cary Grant. He had a better
body than Schwartzenegger in his prime. He was something!

"Somehow, Sheldon just knew exactly how to make women happy," the
cabbie continued. "He had a memory like a computer. Could remember
everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which fork to eat with.

He could fix anything. Not like me. I try to change a fuse, and the whole
neighborhood blacks out."

"Wow, incredible , no wonder you remember him!" said the passenger.


"Well, I never actually met Sheldon," admitted the cabbie.


"Then how do you know so much about him?" asked the passenger.


"After he died, I married his wife."
