Quote of the Day for Sunday, February 24, 2008



Today's quote is from Judah Folkman, who was born on this date in 1933: "A few minutes ago I was taking a cab to the airport, and there was a Russian cabdriver who had been here only two and a half years, so he's just barely speaking English, but he had four cell phones going, all pasted on his dashboard, and they were ringing, and he was answering them. He was dispatching, and he was driving, and I said, "What are you doing here?" He said, "Well, I own a cab company. I have four other Russians working for me, and we do not make enough money. We make money, but we don't make enough money to rent a place to have a dispatcher." So he's the dispatcher. So he was saying -- I can't remember his words -- saying, "What a country!" Because he could never have done this where he was. And he was about 30, and he was working 18 hours a day. It's amazing."
