Ever consider saying to hell with it, I’ll drive a cab? Consider, first, the following statements:
1) “Whew! Those people are crazy.”
2) “What is this place?”
3) “Where did Jesus live?”
4) “Knmlknas, nonss wjosl and mpoi, cvosie.” And …
5) “My son is crazy.”
Now consider the source: It’s cab driver Eddie Tucker quoting from the tales that Tucker tells at taxistory333.blogspot.com. (Tales, some of them, that were also featured in a Memphis Flyer cover story in February 2011.) Those tales have now been collected in a book Tucker calls Taxi Tales from the Streets of Memphis (CreateSpace, in paperback for $19.95).
