Joke

See More Jokes


A cruising taxi is hailed by a man who has just come out of a building. “Perfect timing,” the man tells the taxi driver. “You’re just like Frank.”

“Who?” asks the cabbie.

“Frank Fielding. He’s a man who always did everything right. He could have won a Nobel Prize. He could have won Olympic gold medals.”

“Sounds quite a guy,” says the driver.

“That’s not half of it. He had a memory like a computer. He could remember everyone’s birthday. He knew all about wine, which dishes to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything.”

“Wow, what a man!”

“He knew how to treat a woman well. He was the perfect man. No-one could ever quite measure up to Frank.”

“Amazing. How did you meet him?”

“Oh, I never met Frank.”

“So how do you know so much about him?”

“I married his widow.”
