NY Cabs...

I took this cab yesterday from JFK to Manhattan driven by a clean-shaven turban-less Sardar. Near the end of my ride we get talking and he discovers that I am Indian. After the usual chit chat, we arrive at my destination, and he says - "Oh, I guess you will be needing a receipt since this is a business trip, oh well here it is." and then he pauses for a moment like he's thinking hard, and then rips out a blank receipt, hands it to me and says, take the "sister fuckers" for all they are worth...

A New York cabbie & privacy? As much of an oxymoron as that is, I guess you are right. Except, I am pretty sure it isn't the right number, nor is the name. If it is, well damned right, he took me for about 10 bucks more than he should have... :-)

I guess he practices what he preaches, then!

LOL! So did you use that blank receipt?;)
The sardars in London were less considerate. They spoke a great deal about how expensive livin in London was! Bas!

Thankfully I am yet to get in to a cab in CA - I find renting a car more convenient everywhere else other than NYC.
