Wisdom starts at $3,80

Any problem you have, can be solved really easy, if you ask the right person. Forget about jesus, or your priest or your friends. Jesus is too busy solving REAL problems, your priest only wants to get in your pants, and your friends are tired of you and your endless blah blah.

But in Buenos Aires, we have an excellent counseling service that comes included in almost every taxi cab service, and you should definitly take advantage of it.

I know what you are thinking: "what would a taxi driver know about my problems with my partner, my morgage and my parents in-law?" Well, he knows. In fact, if your problem is more related to other areas of the human knoledge, lets say, quantum physics, biology or algebra; don´t be shy and just ask, he´ll have an answer too!

"Is the answer the right one?" You might be wondering. I say :"Who cares?" They talk with such autorithy that I wouldn´t dare to not take the advice.

Taxi cab drivers know it all. That´s the truth. A taxi cab driver told me so.

Anyway, to prove my point, I´m going to transcribe a conversation I had last saturday with a really nice taxi cab guru. He revealed a piece of information that you might find extremely useful.

Taxi guy: You know, I´m 56 yo, I don´t want a new wife. I separated a couple of years ago and I don´t want to marry again. I just want a woman to go out with 2 nights a week.
Me: 2 nights a week? why 2 and not 3? 2 nights a week is not enough for a woman.

Taxi guy: I know, but seeing someone 2 nights a week it´s the perfect way not to get into any commitment.

Me: Really?

Taxi guy: Sure. Look, if you see someone only 2 times a week, the relationship cannot go too far. I give you my word.

Me: Interesting. So when a guy only wants to see me twice a week it´s because he knows this rule?

Taxi guy: Probably. But you, women, always have a way to trick a guy into a serious relationship.

Me: How?

Taxi guy: Driving him crazy in bed.

Me: well, that I know. But thank you for teaching me the 2 days rule. It´s brilliant.

Taxi drivers can also understand the inane babble of North American "travel spanish", and for this I have the utmost respect.

Diva said...

That´s true. But not only the north american, they understand any country´s "travel Spanish".
thanks for you comment

He is not supposed to tell women about the 2 day rule!

The "one day rule" works better for me.
