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 cabby.  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 cabby
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. 

He 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 oral sex on the way?"  "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 cabby 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 a big smile and thumbs up sign to each driver.
