A chap walks out to the street and hails a passing cab. He gets in and the Cabbie says, 'Perfect timing. You're just like Frank.' Passenger: 'Who?' 'Frank Feldman. He did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a taxi, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time.' 'There are always a few clouds over everybody.' 'Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific sportsman; he could have won 'Sounds like he was somebody rather special.' '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 mend anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right.' 'Wow, some Renaissance Man then.' 'Frank never made a mistake, and knew how to treat a lady to make her feel good. He would never answer her back, even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too - He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman.' 'An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?' 'Well, I never actually met Frank - he died. I married his widow.' |
