Frank - The Perfect Man . . . I have a way to go



A man walks out to the  street and catches a taxi just going by. He gets
into the taxi, and the  cabbie says, 'Perfect timing. You're just like
Frank.'

Passenger:  'Who?'
Cabbie: 'Frank Feldman. He's  a guy who did everything right all the time.

Like my coming along when  you needed a cab, things happened like that to
Frank Feldman every  single time.'

Passenger: 'There are always  a few clouds over everybody.' 

Cabbie: 'Not Frank Feldman.  He was a terrific athlete. He could have won
the Grand-Slam at tennis.  He could golf with the pros. He sang like an
opera  baritone and danced  like a Broadway star and you should have heard him
play the piano. He  was an amazing guy.' 

Passenger: Sounds like he  was something really special. 

Cabbie: 'There's more. He  had a memory like a computer. He remembered
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  street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, could do everything
right. 

Passenger: 'Wow, some guy  then.' 

Cabbie: 'He always knew the  quickest way to go in traffic and avoid
traffic jams. Not like me, I  always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank,
he never made a mistake,  and he really knew how to treat a woman and make
her feel good. He would  never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and
his clothing was  always immaculate, shoes highly polished too - He was the
perfect man!  He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank
Feldman.'  

Passenger: 'An amazing  fellow. How did you meet him?' 

Cabbie: "Well, I never actually  met Frank. He died and I married his
wife.
