The wonderful Brian

A man walked out into the street and caught a taxi just going by. He got
into the taxi, and the cabbie said, "Perfect timing. You're just like
Brian!"
 
Passenger: "Who?"
 
Cabbie: "Brian Sullivan. He's a guy who did everything right all the time. A
bit like my coming along when you needed a cab. Things happened like that to
Brian Sullivan, every single time."
 
Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."
 
Cabbie: "Not Brian Sullivan. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won
the Grand Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pro's. He sang like an
opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star...... and you should have
heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy."
 
Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special."
 
Cabbie: "There's more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered
everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and even
which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a
fuse, and the whole street blacks out But Brian Sullivan, he could do
everything right."
 
Passenger: "Wow. Some guy then."
 
Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic
jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Brian, he never
made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel
good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong ...... and
his clothing was always immaculate - shoes highly polished too. He was the
perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Brian
Sullivan!"
 
Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"
 
Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Brian. He died. I'm married to his
f****ing' widow."
