Missing in action

It has been about 18 months since I last legally drove a taxi, and I'm missing it.  From cruising the streets late at night, hunting for a fare, to smoking cigarettes and talking shit at the casino rank at 2am in the morning; I miss it all.  I would even clean ten soiled taxis just to get my licence back, but my psychiatrist won't let me.

One of the questions I ask customers to get the conversation going in the taxi is when was the best day in your life.  And what I've noticed is that there is a subtle difference between the sexes in the response.  Most females will say it was the day they met their partner or the birth of their child; whereas, males will generally say it was the day they achieved something in the sporting arena or a career achievement.
