Cruise control: Got into a taxi the other day, and the cabbie promptly introduced himself as “Cadillac Jack.â€
“I’ve owned 29 Cadillacs, all of them new,†he said, and proceeded to tell me about each and every one of them as we drove across town.
Finally I had to ask.
“How old are you?â€
“Sixty,†he said.
“How did you manage to go through 29 Cadillacs?â€
“Well, you know, if you don’t pay for them, they take ’em back.â€
