A man walks to 5th Ave. & 42nd St. in New York City during a terrible rain and somehow manages to get a taxi immediately – extremely lucky. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says: – “Perfect timing. You’re just like Sheldon.”
The man says: – “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 with the pros. 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 Arnold Schwarzenegger 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 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.”
