There's a story making the rounds in Baltimore that a guy tried to stiff a cabbie for the fare, saying that he was broke and that the cabbie couldn't get blood out of a turnip.

The cabbie took the fellow to a blood bank, waited until a pint of blood was extracted, then deducted his fare from the proceeds.

On the way out the door the cabbie, obviously a fan of Shakespeare, said, "Guess you ain't no turnip after all, huh ?"

As winter again approaches in our area, I'm again reminded of one of Nature's greatest mysteries. How she always arranges for the person who doesn't know how to drive in ice and snow to be first in a line of 100 stalled vehicles.

Man, trying on suit to salesman: "Do you mind if I step outside and look at it in the smog ?"

The Baltimore Beltway (I-695) is a four lane Interstate Highway well known for coming to a complete halt during rush hours.

The other week, a motorist stuck his head out the window and yelled, "Let me through, I have important information about the upcoming election for President Ford."

Baltimore's Inner Harbor has lots of restaurants with tables outside, which remain popular in spite of the smog and pollution. Recently, as I was having lunch there, I overheard a woman telling her little boy to finish his crab soup before it got dirty.

A man wearing a hearing aid got into a cab and the driver said, "Must be tough to be hard of hearing, huh ? But then nearly all of us have something wrong, one way or another. Take me, for instance, I can hardly see."
