I had a very interesting taxi ride the other day with a fellow in St. John (New Brunswick). He was the chatty type and proceeded to tell me all about himself, getting on a tanker to Aruba as a 15 year old, how his family never owned a car until he bought one at 16 (a 1957 Chevy) and how he often got into trouble as a kid.

He then proceed to make a joke about how his girlfriend made his wife mad the other day. He then followed it up with ‘Actually, that is a true story”, followed by an explanation of how he had been booted out of the house, after a year started dating a woman, went back with his wife but kept the girlfriend. At which point he turned to me and said “Do you date?”

Surprised, I responded, “Uh, no. I did a long time ago. But I am happily married".”

He smiled and said “Well good for you! It can get complicated. If you ever change your mind, I know a nurse”

With that I arrived at the airport, with a laugh.
