Last night I picked up at a KFC, actually it was a combination restaurant, with a KFC, Pizza Hut, and something else. I got the two guys, younger guys who were drunk, half way to their house, when one of them opened one of the bags of food.
Him: What the fuck is this?
Other guy: What?
Him: This isn't our food! We got the wrong food.
Other guy: What did we get?
Him: We made out. There's a lot of good stuff here, but what are we going to do with this?
He held up a chocolate cake with white icing, packaged in clear plastic. It said Pillsbury on it.
Me: I have a suggestion...
That chocolate cake was the best tip I had all night, and I mentioned it on the radio: "I just got an entire chocolate cake for a tip. How cool is that?" Another driver immediately said: "What's your 20?" He came straight over to my location and got the first piece. It didn't take long for the rest of us to polish it off.

What are doing with a steering wheel stuck down your Pants?
It's driving me nuts!
TADUM!
Brent,
I don't know about the book idea. I've thought about it, but I doubt it would sell. For now the blog will suffice.
Roy -- I laughed out loud. I'll use that on the cab stand tomorrow night. It's good cabbie humor.
