An old man, who was once a successful businessman, flew to Vegas for the weekend to gamble. He lost the shirt off his back, and had nothing left but a quarter and the second half of his round trip ticket. If he could just get to the airport he could get himself home. So he went out to the front of the casino where there was a cab waiting.
He got in and explained his situation to the cabbie. He promised to send the driver money from home, he offered him his credit card numbers, his drivers license number, his address… but to no avail. The cabbie said, “If you don’t have fifteen dollars, get the hell out of my cab!“
So the old man was forced to hitch-hike to the airport and was barely in time to catch his flight.
A year later, he returned to Vegas and this time he won big. Feeling pretty good about himself, he went out to the front of the casino to get a cab ride back to the airport. Well who should he see out there, at the end of a long line of cabs, but his old buddy who had refused to give him a ride when he was down on his luck.
The the old man thought for a moment about how he could make the guy pay for his lack of charity, and he hit on a plan.
He got into the first cab in the line, “How much for a ride to the airport,” he asked?
“Fifteen bucks,” came the reply.
“And how much for you to give me a blowjob on the way?,” added the old man.
“What??? Get the hell out of my cab!!“
The businessman got into the back of each cab in the long line and asked the same questions… with the same result.
When he got to his old friend at the back of the line, he got in and asked “How much for a ride to the airport?” The cabbie replied “fifteen bucks.“
The businessman said “ok” and off they went.
As they drove past the cabs in the long line, the old man gave a big smile and thumbs-up sign to each driver.
Moral of the story: Just as good deed can come in any form and at any time. But someone’s revenge can show up when you least expect it, and may leave you wondering how or why things are happening…
