A successful businessman flew to Vegas for the
weekend to gamble. He lost the shirt off his
back, and had nothing left but a quarter and the
second half of his round trip ticket. If he
could just get to the airport he could get
himself home.

So he went out to the front of the casino where
there was a cab waiting. He got in and explained
his situation to the cabbie. He promised to send
the driver money from home, he offered him his
credit card numbers, his drivers license number,
his address, etc. but to no avail. The cabbie
said "If you don't have fifteen dollars, get the
hell out of my cab!"

So the businessman was forced to hitch-hike to
the airport and was barely in time to catch his
flight.

One year later the businessman, having worked
long and hard to regain his financial success,
returned to Vegas and this time he won big.
Feeling pretty good about himself, he went out to
the front of the casino to get a cab ride back to
the airport. Well, who should he see out there,
at the end of a long line of cabs, but his old
buddy who had refused to give him a ride when he
was down on his luck.

The businessman thought for a moment about how he
could make the guy pay for his lack of charity,
and he hit on a plan. The businessman got in the
first cab in the line, "How much for a ride to
the airport," he asked? "Fifteen bucks," came the
reply. "And how much for you to give me a
Mouth Gig once we get there?"

"What?! Get the hell out of my cab."

The businessman got into the back of each cab in
the long line and asked the same questions, with
the same result. When he got to his old friend
at the back of the line, he got in and asked "How
much for a ride to the airport?"

The cabbie replied "fifteen bucks."

The businessman said "ok" and off they went.
Then, as they drove slowly past the long line of
cabs the businessman gave big smile and thumbs up
sign to each driver.
