Globetrotting:
Some years
ago, Avon and I happened to find ourselves in London, England. We landed at
Gatwick and took a double-decked bus to King’s Cross Station. There we got into
one of those little black taxies to go to our hotel. It was a short ride and
the driver told me how much the fare was, which meant absolutely nothing to me.
I could barely speak the language. So, I pulled out a handful of coins and
asked if that would cover it. He said, “Very good, Govner.” and took the money.
I later learned that I had given him the equivalent of $17 US dollars for a
2-block taxi ride. I’ll bet that boy just loved to see Yanks come into town. I
know you’ll find this hard to believe, but that was not the dumbest thing I’ve
ever done.
