Just like Dave

A man walks out 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
Dave."

"Who?"

"This guy named Dave. He always did everything right.
Like my coming along when you needed a cab. It would
have happened like that to Dave."

"There are always a few clouds over everybody."

"Not Dave. He was a terrific athlete. He could have
gone on the pro tour in tennis. He could golf with
the pros, too. He sang like an opera baritone, and
danced like a Broadway star."

"He was something, huh?"

"Oh, you don't know the half of it. He had a memory
like a trap. Could remember everybody's birthday. He
knew all about wine, which fork to eat with. He could
fix anything. Not like me. I change one light on the
Christmas Tree and I black out the whole
neighborhood."

"No wonder you remember him."

"Well, you would too, if you'd married his widow."
