Do you get sick riding in a cab?
Edited on Fri Dec-23-05 12:28 PM by bertha katzenengel
or -- how I spent my lunch hour:

hop in one cab, get flung across town like the magic bullet

get out, get feet under me, keep myself from laughing at the sidewalk

find my anxiety-ridden meeting room, wait in a sweat (christ, it was hot in there)

have the meeting

hop in the next cab - where the interior was hotter than the waiting room and where the driver is playing "contemporary christian" christmas music* :puke:, get flung across town like a wayward scud

get back into the office, run to the ladies room just in time

now i am sipping a Coca-Cola trying not to have another technicolor yawn

note to self: remember a xanax before these meetings and a dramamine before a cab ride, you :dunce:

And how is YOUR day?

* a new christian "carol" -- the tune of "Oh, Very Young" with new lyrics about sweet baby Jesus. :puke:x3

4. several weeks ago i solicited people's favorite euphemisms for vomiting
my own personal favorite is "calling Ralph on the big white telephone"

5. No
Most times I tip way above the fare to get where I'm going faster.

6. Yes - in any car, really
I always have to drive or be in the passenger seat, or I will be sick. :shrug:
