So I'm in this cab...

And I'm riding to work. I realize that the driver is the same guy who likes to talk about Jesus (no offense to those who love Jesus, but its not what I want to discuss on my way to work). So I'm trying to ride the wave between polite, and quit-fucking-talking-to-me.

So he says: So...do you work at that theAter?

And I go: Yeah.

And he says: Don't you have that boyfriend?

(pause--he has driven H and I around a few times)

So I say: Um, yeah, why?

(another pause)

And he says: I think that's okay, for a lady to work even though she got a man.

And I said: Oh...

I did not tip him today.

ROFL ... I think you should've tipped him a kick in the groin.

Tht would have entailed climbing into the front seat of the cab.

Ewww.

But dude, that's progressive thinking!

Uh Huh...

Maybe 20 years ago it was...

Plus, i think I object to the term "lady" because of when I was a kid, and they all would say to "sit like a lady". This of course means crossing your legs and the knee which is not very comfortable at all. And I did not even wear dresses, it was really dumb.

My answer.

If I were in a pleasant mood:

"That's good. I think it's okay for a man to work even if he has a lady, too."

If I were not in a pleasant mood:

"Excuse me, I didn't realize we'd just warped back 50 years. I needed to be at work in the year 2002."

ha ha.

I daresay I was too surprised to say anything witty.
An odd occurence for me indeed...

All the funny stuff I thought of was days after the actual incident. No fair.

That amused me. You should tell him that they're working on cloning Jesus just to see what he would say.

I make it a point not to infuriate men as they are driving me around. Unless one of those men is MrCrankypants.

Just say that you heard on the news that they were trying to clone Jesus. Seriously.
