Wow - that reminds me of one about a taxi driver who gave a man a lift and wondered why the passenger had given him his own (the taxi driver's) address to go to. It so happened that the passenger was having an affair with the taxi driver's wife. Well, his sins found him out.

They realise they were going to end up having an affair with each other after answering newspaper personal ads. While you can say "Each cheated, blah blah blah," it says something about how important it is to keep communication open in a long-term relationship.

I'll bet that Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway is surprised to find he is dead.....Unfortunately for company owner J.W. Heselden he ran one off of cliff and perished in 2010.
