Tee hee. The way I used to get a cab to Brooklyn as a teenager was
to get IN the cab before I told the driver where I wanted to go.
This always worked.




When I was growing up in Brooklyn I didn't take cabs, just used the
bus or the subway.


Obviously, Sue, you were not a princess. Eileen, on the other hand, is
descended from true royalty, if ya know what I mean.

I only became a princess later on and boy am I making up for lost
time(grin).
