"Sheldon"

A man walks to 5th Ave. & 42nd St. during a downpour and some how manages to get a
taxi immediately.

He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Sheldon."

"Who?"

"Sheldon Cohen. There's a guy who did everything right. Like my cab being vacant during
a rainstorm. It would have happened like that for Sheldon every single time."

"Well, no one is perfect. There are always a few clouds over everybody", stated the passenger.

"Not Sheldon. He was a terrific athlete. He could have gone on the pro tour in tennis. He
could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced lik! e a Broadway star.
Handsome and sophisticated, more than Cary Grant. He had a better body than Arnold
in his prime. He was something"

"Somehow Sheldon just knew exactly how to make women happy. He had a memory like a
computer. Could remember everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which fork to
eat with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole neighborhood
blacks out."

"Wow, incredible , no wonder you remember him!"

"Well, I never actually met Sheldon."

"Then how do you know so much about him?"

"After he died, I married his wife."
