pallas_athenaMy mother arrived in town today, so I took a cab over to her hotel to have breakfast.
On the way there, the cab driver heard my accent and asked where I was from. He said "I'm going to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks. Me and the lads, we go over there once every two years. Just us, and no women! It's great!"
He went on to tell the following story:
One of his friends had had heart surgery a few years ago. "He's divorced, and been celibate for three years, so me and the lads, we figure it's time to test the old ticker out." The friend shouldn't do anything too strenuous, he said, so they were going to procure him the kind of entertainment that involved him "just sittin' there." They knew a lady, you see, a talented lady who would perform this service. "Then afterwards, he's gonna get a bit of a surprise. See..." the cabbie lowered his voice, "This lady, the one we plan to introduce him to... is not a lady."
"She's not gonna tell 'im till afterwards, you see! Then we'll see how good the old ticker is!"
So he told me, and I told the blogosphere. My work here is done.
