Funny Lessons Learned From Mary Jayne:
When I was around the age of 22 my sister had just turned 18. it was during these times that we began to hang out with one another as young adults. She was finally able to get into the nightclubs with me. It was then that she started to share her men stories with me. She once said to me, " Rickey, sometimes I wish that I wasn't so attractive, because I always get these men with stank breath in my face that always seem to want to use "H" and " P" words !" It was at that moment that I started to be a little more sympathetic to women. It also caused me to come more correct on my approach as well.
I am so thankful that I was blessed with sisters.

Taxi Cab Nightmare
Recently, my car blew a head gasket. Therefore, I had to become dependent on the local cab companies for transportation.
I had plans to go to a funeral for a friend of the family. First, I needed to go to Wal-Mart for a few items for the house.
I called the cab company. I waited for about 20 minutes before they showed up. When they arrived, they did so in an unmarked gray Hyundai. When I opened the rear passenger door, it had stains on the back seat, the floor had not been vacuumed, and it smelled like a wet dog.
I asked the driver why the car had no signs on it. She said that recently cab drivers had been robbed and they didn't want to be identified as cabs.
I then proceeded to ask them about the ungodly stench of the vehicle. She said that sometimes that a lot of their passengers don't shower, hence the smell. I didn't believe them because the driver themselves did not look sanitary.
I talked about them until I reached my destination. I was just that upset.
When I tried to call them back, they did not answer. So I was forced to walk home, in my suit, in the rain.
I ended up missing the funeral.
The moral of this story is this:
Whenever you are at the mercy of needing a ride from someone, sometimes it is best that you suffer through your discomfort in silence.
If not, you might end up stranded and forced to hoof it in an inclement weather situation.
