my night in one conversation...

Dec 10, 2004 13:56


Friend: "You've already lost your cell phone? We just got here!"

Me: "Ummm...it must have slipped out of my pocket in the cab over."

Friend: "Well, here. Use mine. Just call your cellphone and see if the cabdriver answers."

(RING RING)

Me: "Hello, is this a cab driver?"

Cabdriver: (with heavy accent) "Yes. Yes. I am cabdriver."

Me: "Mr. Cabdriver, will you bring me my cell phone."

Cabdriver: (still heavy accent) "Yes. Yes. Yes. I bring back to you now. (Pause) Wait. Where are you?"

Me: (looks over at Friend) "Dude. Where the hell are we?"

Friend: "Where he dropped us off."

Me: "Where you dropped us off."

Cabdriver: (accent, yes) "Yes. Yes. I bring it now. Five to ten minutes."

*We marveled at the fact that Cabdriver knew exactly who he was talking to, but then remembered we were the guys that A) offered him a beer the instant we got into his cab and B) told him that due to his Burt Reynolds mustache, he was definitely on our "All-America Cabbie Team." He returned the phone in due time and was rewarded with another tip and another beer offer. F yeah.
