A man walked out into the street in New York, and managed to flag down a taxi just driving by.


He got into the taxi, and the cabbie said, Perfect timing. Youre just like Dave.


The passenger said, Who?


The cabbie said, Dave Bronson. Now theres a guy who did everything right. Like my coming along just when you needed a cab. It would have happened like that to Dave.


The rider said, Well, nobodys perfect.


The cabbie said, Dave was. He was a terrific athlete. He could have gone on the pro tour in golf. He could have played tennis with the best pros. He sang like an opera baritone, and danced like a Broadway star. He had a memory like a trap. Could remember everybodys birthday. He could fix anything, not like me. If I change even a fuse, I black out the whole neighborhood.


The rider said, No wonder you remember him.


The cabbie said, Well, no I never actually met Dave.


The rider asked, Then how do you know so much about him?


The cabbie exclaimed, I married his widow!
