My gay friend in Singapore sent me his comment in email. It's so good, I had to share. I think he should write for Singaporeist! "OMG! I have a taxi driver story too! Well... two in fact... The first (quickie) story involves a friend of mine (who shall remain nameless, but not shame-less) who DID actually take the taxi driver up on his offer. The driver pulled into a secluded area with grass and bushes, took out a blanket, and they did the wild thing right there. Then they got back into the cab and continued the ride home. When I asked my friend later if he had to pay the fare, he said yes: not only that, the bastard kept the meter running while he was f*cking him!!! Talk about chutzpah! My personal story is less exciting, but was funny at the time. And I dined out on it for a week. Now you dash it all by proclaiming it a common occurrence... The guy picked me up from outside Tantric bar here in Singapore. The owner, was leaving at the same time as me and we were just saying goodbye. As soon as I got in the cab the driver asked me: "you like that guy?" I explained that it was just a friend and he said: "good, cos I like that one." "Ooooh I said, are you gay?" "No sir, not gay, just like f*ck f*ck." So I started quizzing him, how old was he... (52)... was he married... (no)...where did he live... (Heartlands).... who did he live with.... (his aged mother and two sisters in their 40s). Then he went on to tell me that years ago he had this 'friend' - not a boyfriend - from Australia. "Ah, a f*ck buddy?" I ventured. "Not body sir, no, I f*ck de ass". Anyway, but the time we got to my condo he'd obviously worked himself up. When I got out of the cab he wound down the window and called me back. "Sir, sir, look, look!" I looked in the window and saw his old man standing straight up and winking at me. It looked like a button mushroom ready for harvest. In normal circumstances I might use the word 'erection' but one must retain a sense of proportion in these matters, and the portion in this case was below standard. I was so taken aback I didn't know what to say. I couldn't laugh - I'm British, that would be rude. But I wasn't remotely interested. So I plumped for a non-commital "Ooooh ha ha ooooh erm. Goodnight!"

The drivers lining up outside Eddy's are the most obvious.
