I had a young lass in the cab last night on a MyTaxi job coming off the Aer coach at 3am who coincidentally I also dropped to the Aer coach last week. As it was raining on the journey to her home she told me that she loves to hear the rain on the roof while she sleeps.
I said to her; "Your a bit like W.C. Field's, he could only sleep when he heard the rain on the roof", she asked; "Who is W.C. Field's ?", I told her;"Ah, he is a bit before your time or even before my time, he was a great comedian in the early part of the last century, he was a big rival of Charlie Chaplin, he was a thundering alcoholic but he married a very beautiful lady who was much younger than him, why she loved him I have no idea because he was a totally obnoxious man off the stage. Anyway on his Death Bed he prayed fer rain to send him off to his last sleep but there was no rain, so his young wife covertly rang the fire brigade who turned up and discreetly turned their fire hose on to the roof of his house and W.C. Field's passed away that same night".
My story concluded just as we approached her destination and the young lass turned to me after my spout and said; "I'm gonna give you a lovely rating on MyTaxi, that was the most beautiful, romantic story I ever heard, I will sleep well tonight and I will never forget that story".
