A man walked out to the street and immediately caught a taxi that was going by. He jumped into the cab and said, "Perfect timing… just like Andrew!"

Cabbie: "Who?"

Passenger: "Andrew Sullivan. He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like you coming along just when I needed a cab…things like that happened to Andrew Sullivan all the time."

Cabbie: "Well, a dark cloud can loom over anybody from time to time."

Passenger: "Not Andrew Sullivan! He was a terrific athlete. He could’ve won the Grand Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star…and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy."

Cabbie: "Sounds like he was somebody really special."

Passenger: "That’s not all! He had a memory like a computer and could remember everybody's birthday. He knew what wine to order with any food and which fork to eat it with. He could fix anything. Not like me…I change a fuse and the whole street blacks out. But that Andrew Sullivan…he always did everything right."

Cabbie: "Wow…some guy then."

Passenger: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck. He really knew how to treat a woman too, and would always make her feel special. He would never answer her back…even if she was in the wrong. His clothing was immaculate and he always looked like a million bucks. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Andrew Sullivan."

Cabbie: "An amazing fellow…how did you meet him?"

Passenger: "Well, I never actually met Andrew. He died. I'm married to his widow."
