SMILE FOR THE DAY

It was getting a little crowded in Heaven, so God decided to change the admittance policy. The new law was that in order to get into Heaven, you had to have a really bummer of a day on the actual day you died.
   So the first person came to the gates of Heaven under the new policy. The Angel at the gate, remembering the new rule promptly said to the man that before he could come in, he needed to tell the Angel how his day had been before he died.
   So the man told his story: "I came home to my 25th floor apartment during my lunch hour and caught my wife having an affair. But her lover was nowhere in sight, so I immediately began searching for him. My wife was half naked and yelling at me as I searched the entire apartment.
   Just as I was about to give up, I happened to glance out onto the balcony and noticed that there was a man hanging off the edge by his fingertips! So I ran out onto the balcony and stamped on his fingers until he fell to the ground. But wouldn't you just know it, he landed in some trees and bushes that broke his fall and he survived. This ticked me off even more. So in a blind rage, I went back inside the apartment to get the first thing I could get my hands on to throw at him. The first thing I saw was the fridge, so I unplugged it, pushed it out onto the balcony and tipped it over the side. It plummeted 25 floors and crushed him! Unfortunately, the excitement of the moment was so great that I had a heart attack and died almost instantly."
   The Angel sat back and thought for a moment. Technically, this chap did have a bad day. It was a crime of passion. So, the Angel welcomed him to the Kingdom of Heaven and let him in.
   A few seconds later another male came up and again the Angel declared that before he could let him in, he needed to hear about what his day was like before he died.
   So the second man gave his story: "You're not going to believe it" he said, "but I was on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment doing my daily exercises. I had been under a lot of pressure at work, so I was really pushing hard to relieve my stress. I suppose that I got a little carried away, slipped and accidentally fell over the side! Luckily, I was able to catch myself by my fingertips on the balcony of the apartment below mine. Then all of a sudden, this crazy man comes running out of his apartment, starts cussing and stamps on my fingers. Well, of course, I just fell, but luck was with me and I hit some trees and bushes at the bottom, which broke my fall. I was amazed to be still alive!
   Then, as I was lying on the ground face up unable to move and in excruciating pain, I saw this guy push his fridge off the balcony. It fell the 25 floors, landed on top of me and killed me instantly."
   Once again, the Angel welcomed him to the Kingdom of Heaven and allowed him to enter.
   A few seconds later, another guy presented himself at the Gate and the Angel was shocked to see that it was President Clinton. Thoughts of assassination or sudden nuclear attacks poured through the Angel's head. Finally he asked the President how his final day had been...
   Mr Clinton looked at him and said: "You'll never believe this, but I was naked inside this refrigerator..."

'ER INDOORS'
THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A DAC DRIVER'S WIFE...

Prezzies
The word on everyone's lips at this time of year is presents! What did I reeeaally, reeeaally want for Christmas as against what I actually got? Are you ready for this? A tummy tuck! Yes, you read it right, a tummy tuck! Ok, so it might be a bit difficult to wrap up, but nevertheless that's what I wanted.
   No, I never got one this Christmas (sigh), but there's always next year - although it will probably cost more, what with gravity, wear and tear etc. Mind you, ever the optimist, I think after having five children, Mothercare should sponsor it, don't you think? So if anyone out there is very close to the powers that be at Mothercare, put a good word in for me would you...
   Mind you, I sometimes wonder if the cosmetic surgery world would ever do a buy one, get one free promotion? I'd be in there quicker than a cabby to a Heathrow job!

Give a Little - Take a Lot!
Regular readers will remember our little pup, Tuffy Littlenuts? Well, through circumstances partially beyond our control, we have had to change his name.
   "Aahh" I hear you cry, "finally, you've seen sense!" Well, no. Actually we have had him neutered. So he is now Tuffy No-Nuts! But we still love him...

A Little on the Taxi World
I recently went out - all by my little ole female self - and purchased a 4-year-old Landrover Discovery, V8i ES, to enable me to tow my daughters horse trailer.
   A day after picking the Landrover up, my husband, DaCman, was at his Taxi Maintenance course at our local college (hi guys), where he was telling the other cabbies all about it. There was a huge commotion with cries of "Oh my God! She did what?" and "You let her buy it on her own?" This was followed by sharp intakes of breath followed on by their joint conclusions that it was too powerful for a woman and the only reason it had a tow-bar on it, was to tow the petrol tanker behind... BITCHEE!!

And Finally...
I'd like to wish everyone out there in DaC-land, the very best of New Years. May all your dreams become reality. I'll see you in 2001...
