Who’s Luck is it Anyway?

[I open the cab door and spot a quarter balanced on the bottom door frame ledge]

(Handing it to the driver)

Me: Oh look, a quarter. It’s your lucky day.

Driver: No. You should have that quarter it is lucky for you. You found it.

Me: But I want you to have it. You have to drive around all day. I don’t need a lucky quarter.

Driver: It is for you. That is a lucky quarter.

Me: But it’s probably dirty. It was on the door ledge.

Driver: You think I like dirty things? That’s why I should take it?

Me: Well no. I was just making an excuse for you to take it. This is a very difficult quarter to get rid of.

Driver: That’s a bad excuse

(smelly man walks by wearing a tattered hat and jacket. I hand him the quarter. He takes it)

Me: (to driver) I just gave it to that guy.

Driver: Now we can both be lucky.

Me: Have a good day.
