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 cabby. He promised to send
the driver money from home, he offered him his credit card numbers,
his drivers license number, his address, etc, but to no avail.
The cabby said, "If you don't have fifteen dollars, get the hell out of my
cab!"
So the businessman was forced to hitch-hike to the airport and was barely
in time to catch his flight.
One year later the businessman, having worked long and hard to regain his
financial success, 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 businessman thought for a moment about how he could make the guy pay
for his lack of charity, and he hit on a plan.
The businessman got in 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 have sex with me?"
"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 cabby replied "fifteen bucks."
The businessman said "OK" and off they went.
Then, as they drove slowly past the long line of cabs the businessman gave
a big smile and thumbs up sign to each driver.
