The Great Debate

by Bill Kenny on May 6, 2012

There were four South Suburban’s lined up side by side in zone 525. For weeks a great debate had raged over the sexual orientation of one of our hookers, a gal/guy named Antigua. Antigua was black and stood about 6′ 1″ tall and she/he had a rather large frame for a girl which lent fire to the suspicion that “She” was actually a “He.” This discussion had taken on epic proportions as we, her loyal cab drivers, sought to satisfy that age old curiosity, is it a boy or a girl?

Crazy Bob in the #12 Rust Bucket: “I’m tellin ya boys, there ain’t no way Antigua’s a girl. You can’t be that tall and have that deep a voice and be a she. She’s a he! Hell, I’d betcha a day’s worth of fares.”

Big Bill in the #28 Betty Boop car: “Well if she’s a he, how come we keep picking up John’s and they’re all he’s! Did ya ever consider that little factoid?”

Crazy Bob waving his arms emphatically: “They’re probably just kinky dudes. Your human population’s got all sorts of strange proclivities if you get my drift.”

Manny the Mexican in the #037 van: “I get yer drift senior, could you maybe put yer arms back down, you smell like a dead coyote.”

Crazy Bob: “You watch yer mouth there ya stubby little wet-back!”

Me: “Calm down boys. Bob, how do you explain her waste? I mean her waste can’t be more than 24 inches around. You can’t engineer a slim waste. Boobs sure, the butt sure, but a narrow waste, now that’s a different story. For my money she’s just a big girl with a husky voice.”

Crazy Bob: “I admit the waste is pretty nice but I’m tellin ya she’s a freak of nature if she’s a she. Christ, the last time she road with me we ended up going to that laser place where she had some hair laser’d off her face. Hell, she told me that straight up.”

Big Bill: “That don’t prove nothin, hell my third wife was havin hair removed from all sorts of nooks and cranny’s.”

Manny the Mexican: “Why she no use a tweezers?”

Big Bill: “Aw shut the hell up jumpin bean.”

Me: “I mean yer standard hooker’s always a girl. It’s sort of a rule. Every time I pick her up we’re either going to Bed, Bath and Beyond or Walgreen’s for rubbers! We’re talking rubbers here boys.”

Big Bill: “Ya mean Bed, Bath and really Beyond don’t ya?”

Manny the Mexican: “I use rubbers and I’m no chickita.”

Me: “Yer missin my point Pablo, she’s usin protection on account she don’t wanna have any baby hookers. Guys can’t get pregnant, only girls can.”

Big Bill: “There’s a guy in Rumania that’s pregnant. Google it and see for yerself.”

Me flashing him the bird: “Google this numb nuts.”

Crazy Bob: “What about that website of hers on the Internet? There’s a picture of her with a real penis. How you boys explain that if she’s a she? Huh, how do you explain that?”

Big Bill: “Easy, you can buy them fake ones on that adult website!”

There was a moment of awkward silence as everybody turned their gaze on Big Bill. He had a sort of ooops look on his face, like maybe he shoulda kept his mouth shut or something.

Big Bill: “Hey, hey, hey, don’t even go there. I was Googling for attachable pennants to decorate my cab with and I typed in the wrong word. You boys know I have arthritis in my hands from driving this damn cab. It affects my coordination.”   

Crazy Bob: “You got arthritis in yer hands from doing something else, but that’s a discussion topic for another time. I’m tellin ya Antigua’s a guy and the John’s we’re picking up are some strange whacked out dudes. There’s no way he’s a she.”

Me: “I don’t know Bob. I was watching her the other day and she was being down right sweet. Why she actually seems to be really nice and guys aren’t nice.”

Big Bill: “Hmm, he’s gotta point there.”

Crazy Bob: “Never looked at it that way. He does have a point, guys aren’t nice. No way, they’re jerk offs!”

Manny the Mexican: “He right amigos, we hombres no?”

Me: “My butt itches.”

Big Bill: “Aww for Christ sakes, there he goes with the butt thing again.”

Crazy Bob: Yeah, shut up and scratch yer head, that’ll take care of it.”

Well, there you have it, a typical in-depth discussion cabbie style. People never realize what deep thinkers we are until they ride in the cab with us. When we drop them off, they still don’t.

He Called Me Paisano

February 17, 2012

I was sitting there doing what cab drivers normally do, “NOTHING” when all of a sudden the bell went off. It was a job over at the Mall, the Grand Lux Restaurant to be specific so off I went. When I pulled up there was nobody in sight so I called the number listed and [...]

Doreen, a Musical

February 12, 2012

Sometimes I’ll hear a song and immediately things start happening inside my weird brain. Occasionally I’ll just sit down and write. That’s how Doreen, a short musical happened. This started with a Hall and Oates song down at Champs Sports Bar. I don’t know why it happens, but it does. Hopefully your brain knows the [...]

One of Those Days, Part 2: Jenean

February 3, 2012

I was sitting there still recovering from my previous fare Richard. My nose still burned from the stench and I hadn’t had a job in four hours, FOUR HOURS! Worse yet, I was going to find out later that evening, that I’d missed a text from a regular that would have sent me to the [...]

It was shaping up to be one of “THOSE DAYS” as in maybe I should just go back home and go to bed. My first fare was a guy named Richard and being located in the Corporate zone I was hoping my “As Directed” was going to the airport. When I arrived at 6070 Greenwood [...]

I had decided to work the West side of town for some unknown reason and my first bell was a gal named Christina. The address was just off Wadsworth Avenue and I got there pretty quickly. As I rolled up I spotted the house and as I started to roll into the driveway a woman [...]

Hal’s Big Adventure

November 8, 2011

What follows is a true story from the annals of cabbienormal.com. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Naw, I didn’t! Hal was new to the cab game, but then half the idiots driving cabs were new. He’d been driving for three months and was starting to get into it. Hell, he was [...]

An Average Moron

October 28, 2011

It was a damn slow week and I was in need of a DIA injection fast, DIA as in Denver International Airport and the $80 fare that accompanied it. That would turn around what had so far been a crappy day. I had been sitting for almost two hours when finally, the bell went off! [...]

Pee-ology II

October 12, 2011

I thought a follow-up to my very instructive piece dealing with the cab driver’s dilemma of “Nature’s always calling” and “I’m always sitting in a cab” would be helpful.  Therefore, I give you Peeology II and what I’d like to do today is simply outline for you the basic rules for dealing with the “Cab [...]

The Dark Lord

October 9, 2011

I was cooling my heels in the Sunset Grille after a fun filled festive eleven and a half hour day of sitting on my ass in the cab staring at the steering wheel. It hadn’t exactly been a busy one and when I added everything up I had made a $157 on seven fares, any [...]
