Part of this edition of Joe the taxi man happened right before my eyes. While driving out, Joe (in this case a young taxi man maybe in his late 20s, said 'taxi' to a few curvaceous ladies walking past. The look he got was one of 'we wouldn't vomit on you, you slob.'

"Bwoy, some a dem university girl yah can gwaan like seh dem betta dan you," he complained. "If mi say 'taxi' and yu no want one, just seh, that's okay and mi wi move on," he added.

That was just the beginning of the ranting.

"Some a dem tink seh because dem a go university, dem betta dan you. But dem no street smart, yu see mi." I nodded in agreement and he took it to another level.

"Some a dem probably all a work in a whorehouse a night time,'' he said. "Me know a guy who know some and a peer a dat dem do. All threesome enuh star!" By now my ears were perked but he didn't go any further.

He wasn't done. 'Tink dem nice,' part though as he said, "but a bet if it was a bimma (BMW) me inna them woulda talk to me long time!" Seeing he was heading down the 'pretty car eye' argument, I didn't stop him.

He spoke of a friend who travels regularly to the United States, who has a sleek vehicle with nice rims and a TV/DVD set up inside. He saw a perfect example of 'likkie-likkie' behaviour.

"Mi sit down near the car and some girls a pass it. One a dem, har eye wide out and say, 'I want to meet the man who drives this car'," he remembered. He was tempted to go over and introduce himself for what was a sure rendezvous.

"Just like that, she waan meet the driver. A nuff a dem get ketch cause a car. Whole heap a gal mi coulda bun (have sex with), cause a car enuh, but (kisses teeth), a true mi caan badda yah man," he said.

Good for you Joe!
