"Take me to Brooklyn"

A well dressed businessman got into a Manhattan cab
and asked to be taken to LaGuardia airport. While stuck
in the traffic jam, the businessman leaned forward and
said to the cabbie, "How's your spirit of adventure?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I have to be in Chicago for a meeting tomorrow, but
the thought of flying there just bores me to tears. Why not
drive me there? The meeting will last only an hour. I'll pay
the gas, tolls, your hotel room, meals, and then you can
drive me back tomorrow."

The driver said, "Sure, why not?" and off they went.

They motored through Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
and finally into Chicago. The businessman did his meeting
(while the cabbie waited) came out, got back into the cab
and they took off to the hotel. They shared a huge meal, the
businessman paid for two rooms. The next morning, they
took off back towards Manhattan. When they arrived, the
meter read $4,632.85.

When they got back to the businessman's office in Manhattan,
the man told the cabbie, "Let me go in the bank here and I'll
get you a certified check. I'll make it for $5000 so you'll get a
sizable tip for your service".

"Great," the cab driver said, "Thanks."

"One last thing. When I give you the check, I'd like you to
drive me home, please. I'm dead tired."

"Where do you live?"

"Brooklyn."

"No way mister !!! I'd have to drive back over the Brooklyn
Bridge empty... without a passenger!"
