Only In New York

I get in the cab this morning and the driver hands me a green bracelet.
“What’s this?”
“It’s for you. Wear it and get good health, stay beautiful. I will explain it to you…”
He puts on a song sung in Hindu and starts translating for me:
“Our eyes met from across the room –
She was beautiful, an angel.
I’ll never forget the night I met the girl in green.
My heart is on fire,
Like a fish without water.
I’ll never forget the night I met the girl in green.”
Then he pulls out a packet of bindis and says, “pick out your favorite color.”I pick orange and he pulls the cab over and puts it on my forehead.
“Now we are married! You will remember me forever. You are going to work today and will tell your friends
And you will all laugh about this. You came into my cab looking sad and now you are smiling.”
I tipped him $3.
