Accident!!!

Had my first car crash in a cab yesterday night! Taking a guy out to the fairgrounds. Was driving down Houghton, and as it got to within a 1/2 mile of the entrance, it became stop and go traffic. And on one of the stop and go's, I stopped, and the girl behind me go'ed. She wasn't going that fast, maybe 10 mph. The cab only had slight bumper damage, old cop car has that metal inside bumper, but her front end was smashed. Had to waste 3 hours there waiting on the sheriff and taxi investigator, so my Friday night was ruined. Thought I was ok at the time, but today my neck and shoulders are hurting! WHIPLASH! I am in need of a serious massage, if there are any volunteers!

Another new experience

Just after I thought I had seen it all...

5 college girls singing at full volume Boys II Men's "End of the Road" as I was taking them down to O'Malley's. Quite a few amused looks from the guys on 4th Ave. Now the problem is I was more annoyed then I should have been with a coed hottie squeezed up against me in a car full of girls having a good time. Boy, I am getting old.

Baby on the way

Had my first rush to the hospital with a pregnant woman.
Good times!
I was busy making cracks until the Dad joined in. I had to set him straight...
"It's not your job to be annoying or funny. Only I can get away with it. It is your job to be supportive and sympathetic."
