Which Cab Driver Would You Prefer?
A drugged-out, ganga-reeking, perhaps narcolept who drives sooooo slow it takes an hour to do the normal 20-min drive home from the airport after midnight when there's literally almost no other traffic on the road?
Or the bible-banging, murmuring, religious fundamentalist who listens to sketchy pseudo hymns and crazy prayers at 5:30 a.m.?
Which is worse? It's really a toss up in my book.

Tough call. But when it's that late and I'm coming home from a trip, I prefer the one who will get me home fastest.

Yeah...gotta go with the shortest ride, no matter the driver.
How was your trip?

The two words that pop to mind are:
Car. Service.
Just sayin'.

C: the cabbie who recites his own poetry.

like that you refer to them as "bible-banging". You are the only other person I know who does prefer this appropriately compulsive description over the more common "bible-thumping"...
As for which cabbie: would take the ganja from the first one, get drugged out, clench my bible and get into the car with the poet while whistling pseudo-hymns backwards...

I would go with the ganga smelling only because I like that smell! :) And I can't stand when people bible-thump at me!
