The 3rd Spouse

There is a 1/13000 chance that I would meet Oleg, the Human Computer NYC Cabbie . And I did .

He told me the 'day' of my birth alright .. I was impressed .good job!... He asked me the birthdates of my 1st and 2nd wives and promised that he would guess the date of birth of the 3rd one. And having said that .... he promised he did play some Russian Rock music. He did that !

Coming back to his magic. I asked him if he could predict the date of birth of my future wife rather than the 3rd one.... I would tip even more handsomerly . He said , then that wouldnt be mathematics ...it would be stupidity .

Talking about future wife.... somehow this strange but interesting quote from the movie ...'A bronx tale' comes up
"Let me tell you somethin' right now. You're only allowed three great women in your lifetime. They come along like the great fighters, every ten years
See this girl? Maybe this girl, she put wind in your sails. Maybe she's your first great one."


hmm... 3 great women ... I like this concept .
In a way it describes the vain male chauvinism and at the same time gives you the feministwaala vibes.
The 3rd great one... Mr. Oleg probably knows... and I will only know it if the next time I am in NYC and if there is a chance ( 1/13000 ) to be precise that I see him....he will look into his magic crystal ball mathematical mind ....

love the picassso quote! he's one of my favs. and the way i look at it, ther can be no male chauvinism or feminism... only two sexes fighting for superiority, both of which is wasteful. if only the world wouldnt care wat sex u wer!
