And when the woman next to you begrudgingly reveals that it is no problem to put me on another flight because I have just told you that I have a very important meeting I have to make, don't flash her a look that says "You are undermining my bullshit by helping this person out."

Clearly, you haven't learned Flinty's strategem of melting the defenses of sclerotic service bureaucracies -- sobbing.

On second thought, I think it was a good decision for you not to drink coffee. The world is a much safer place for cabbies and ticket agents.

I would put cabbies first, but then I drive more than I fly. And if you think airline employees are the rudest, you haven't eaten in many D.C. restaurants.

I love to jump in the cab in midtown, close the door firmly, lean foward to the little hatch in the greasy, smeared, bullet-proof partition and watch their faces when I say "going to Brooklyn." No, muthafucka, you're not off-duty.

Did the resulting confrontation get you DQed from Amazing Race 8 (or is it 9 at this point?)?

And if that doesn't work, I show them the goods.

No. The photo I submitted with my application for the 3rd season did that long ago.

Depends. Can you afford to buy a decent place or maintain your current mortgage at the in-house gig? If so, grab it. Boston is cheapish right?

What the fuck has gotten into you today? And did it hurt?

I hope they don't then pull out the 15 air fresheners they've got on reserve in the glove compartment and unwrap them, turn up the talk radio, talk loudly on the cellphone, and then accelerate-brake, accelerate-brake, accelerate-brake the whole way home.

They just raised the rates here citywide. All that means is that I'll tip less. Fuck them. Fuck all of them.

I was going to keep it up until Paigs figured out the joke, but that is asking too much, so I guess I'll stop with the Dan Quayle references, and go back to my normal mastubatory excercises.

There have been times I've prayed for even a single air-freshener. I've ridden with the windows open in February on the FDR doing 60 mph just to try to blow the stank out. You know the kind of B.O. that actually sticks to your clothes?

When cabbies do that when I'm in their ride, I show them by vomiting all over their shoes.

That used to happen to me when they raised the price of the newspapers. You cheapo.

In DC they added a $1 fuel surcharge to every trip. That won't affect my tipping, what does affect my tipping is when the bastard tries to game the zone system and claim we crossed a zone a block before my destination. Fuck. you.

And what is with the fucking air fresheners? It does NOT cover up your body stink! (And Coltrane, while I'm on the subject, neither does your AXE.)
