OMG, I just had the best ride home ever. I got the famous Courtney the Cab Driver! Fuck yeah! For those who don't know, this story dates back a bit. I went to see a late night movie with an acquaintance and soon after, called for car service. Here comes this guy... big, bald, goatee and loud. We got in most unwillingly. We tried to ignore the over-bearing aura of his bad-ass-ness but then the driver spoke.
"What do you guys wanna listen to!? .... and don't say 'whatever' 'cause I don't wanna hear that! So pick one!"
We were both pretty nervous that we might get beaten if we didn't pick a radio station, so we picked Z100 and he puts on KTU, not because he didn't hear us say Z100, but because Z100 sucks Furthermore, what the driver didn't know was that KTU sucks even worse on the night weekends when they 'mix' all the songs up. Frustrated, the driver decided to break the ice (WTF) by telling a joke.
Wanna hear a joke," the angry driver says.
Yes," we reply, afraid of getting eaten.
"What's the difference between the cop car and an elephant?"
"What," we ask nervously.
One's got an asshole in front and an asshole.... wait.... I fucked up!" He fucked up. We are crapping ourselves.
As he's telling the joke, he's driving down these sidestreets and getting severley lost and again, we are afraid we are going to get hacked up into pieces. Telling jokes and driving is hard for the driver. Not able to multitask very well and he couldn't comprehend a simple request we tried to make.
A few weeks later, a friend of mine was telling me a story of a cab driver who got lost because he was telling a joke he kept screwing up. It was the same driver, but I did not know his name. The way the guy behaved, I wouldn't find it the least bit surprising if he had an embarassing name.... like Courtney. Not that there's anything wrong with the name Courtney, but could you imagine a six foot angry gruff man answer to a name like... Courtney. Thus the driver was dubbed Courtney!
Courtney the Cab DriverPresent Day...
I get in the car and I hear a familar voice shout...
"What do you wanna listen to!? .... and don't say 'whatever' 'cause I don't wanna hear that! So pick one!"
I knew it was him!
I picked Z100 cause I honestly forgot he hated that station with all his might. He asked me if I liked the Stones, to which I replied positively, I wish I knew more of their songs though. So this put him at ease. He was a bit hesitant to tell me his name. (LOL, playing with death) but I gave him mine in return. He told another joke.
"Wanna hear a joke?!!?" I don't want to fight this one, I actually want to hear it. "Two boys playing in a schoolyard. One says to the other, you're a cu*t! The boy goes home and asks his dad, what's a cu*t? Dad pulls out an encyclopedia and points below a woman's bellybutton. Dad says, See this... that's a vagina. Everything else surrounding it is a cu*t! Wanna hear another joke?!?! Two Italian brothers are talking to each other. One guy says, my anniversary is today. THe other guy goes, Oh, what did you get her? The man replies, slippers and a dildo. The man asks, why did you get her those two things? The man answers, because if she doesn't like the slippers, she can go fu*k herself."
I can't lie. I laughed. For real. The guy kept screwing up the joke, getting lost again, offering to smoke weed with me (I said no) :P The guy is totally awesome. LOL
Ah home safe! That was great!
