Words of Wisdom from Very Wise Taxi Drivers

While i was taking a taxi back to the office on Friday, i struck up a comfortable conversation with the driver. He proudly stated his heritage:

1. He's a orphan. His father died, and his mother left him.
2. He has next to no education at all.
3. As a result of that, he has "seen the world".
4. But because he has believed in Buddhism, he has taken a vow and turned over a new leaf
5. However, that doesn't stop him from having a girlfriend despite having a wife and kids.
6. The said girlfriend is also married with kids.
7. For the three years that they were together, she has never bought him a present during his birthday.
8. He recently bought a $490 gold necklace for his girlfriend as a present, but she pawned it and left the receipt with him.
9. This incident was the last straw that broke the camel's back. He admitted to not being very familiar with such affairs, but his girlfriend has "taught" him until he's familiar.
10. He plans to abandon his girlfriend now.

With all these "sight-seeing of the world", he has a few Pearls of Wisdom to share:

• A girlfriend is like a handphone. If you don't pay the service charge, the service will be terminated.
  
• On the other hand, a wife is like a television. You only need to pay once and can use for free after that.
• A girlfriend is like a handphone. You take it where-ever you go.
• A wife is like a television. You leave it at home.

Don't you just love taxi drivers? They have a simple uncomplicated view of life. :)
