Who doesn't love New York cab drivers? Aside from being a rich vein of material for lazy writers of humorous observations, they, um... well, ok, they are just a rich material vein. I have run out of ideas.
Two days ago, my cab driver told me a story about how he once got his cab up to 120mph after dropping off a fare at Floyd Bennett Field (a disused airport in South Brooklyn), swearing that it was about to take off, man, if it had wings it woulda gone pow! right into the air. I have no reason to doubt the capabilities of his souped-up former police cruiser, but it's always unnerving when your driver seems to be in a hurry to sit in god's lap, especially on the BQE, which is halfway there already, rife as it is with life-threatening potholes and ninja snipers. Yesterday my cab driver was the strong, silent, murderous type who acted like solid white lines had killed his daughter. Also, traffic signals apparently have laser beams in them that can only be avoided by hurtling through them fast enough to turn any pedestrians who get in the way into a fine mist of bloody meat. I wanted to ask him to chill out just a tiny bit, but when I looked in the rear-view, his eyes had this shine that said "don't say a fucking word to me or I will hate-fuck your nose-holes." So I just sat back and chuckled, thinking that he might be more comfortable around other obvious psychopaths. But who ever heard of a ninja sniper? Ninjas don't use guns. The very idea is ludicrous. The whole point of hiring a ninja to kill people is that they don't make any damn noise. 1 comments |
