"Where to?"
"JFK... International Flights."
The cabby looked in the mirror.
"Vacation?"
"You could say that."
"Working one, huh?"
"What?" He looked down at the box on his lap. "Oh, you could say that, too."
"So, how long you worked there?"
"Three weeks."
"And you get a vacation already?"
"Something like that."
"Any advice."
The man thought for a moment. "You own stock?"
"A little."
"Sell now."
They road in silence the rest of the way.
"Fifty bucks." The cabbie said.
The man swiped his WaMu card, leaving a fifty dollar tip.
"Hey thanks!"
"It's the least I can do!"
