A man walks into the street and manages to get a taxi just going by.
He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Moishe."
Passenger: "Who?"
Cabbie: "Moishe Glickman. There's a guy who did everything right. Like
my coming along when you needed a cab. It would have happened like that to Moishe every single time."
Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."
Cabbie: "Not Moishe. 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, could daven
like the great Yossele Rosenblatt, danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the
piano."
Passenger: "Sounds like he was something, huh?"
Cabbie: "He had a memory like a computer. Could remember everybody's birthday. He knew all
about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I
change a fuse, and the whole neighborhood blacks out."
Passenger. "Wow, some guy eh?"
Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams, not like me, I
always seem to get into them."
Passenger:" "Mmm, not many like that around."
Cabbie: "And he knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good and never answer her back even if she
was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly
polished too."
Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"
Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Moishe."
Passenger: "Then how do you know so much about him?"
Cabbie: "I married his widow."
