Gospel FM Radio Man

'Hey guys, have you seen much of the disney parks? Yeah I think they are really neat. ' Ask's our friendly Taxi Driver.
In the background is the sound of Gospel 24hr radio, Orlando's 24hour gospel radio station.Gospel FM Radio Man-Our taxi driver on first impressions looks like a good christian deep south Happy clapper Pentecostal fellow. Friendly, musical, cool...and praise the lord.

I explained
'No, not yet, we did not really get time cause we are here for a conference..'

'All the way to Disneyworld Orlando Florida and you have not seen a Disney Park! Ah come on man! Just take it easy for the weekend and take a ride out to Animal Kingdom or if you like the water, Why not take a dip at Blizzard Beach!' Explains 24hour Gospel man...

suddenly a huge Uncle Sam people mover (i.e. a people mover that is three times the size it needs to be) swerves directly in front of us.

'ahh, Fuck man! Come on! This duuudes taking up two lanes, come on, these people nowdays driving in two lanes when really duuude, there is only one lane..'

What a cool character, a happy clappy 24hour gospel dude who suffers from road rage..Well I thought to myself, what a surprise.

'So where are you folks from?'

'well i am from Australia and my friends here, they are from Germany.'

'That's neat, Germany! Man you guys have a good soccer team, yeah man, I watch the soccer on ESPN Euroports live. Whats that name of that player,

Pause,

Longer Pause

Ahhh craaap, I can't think of his name...you know, short, no one likes him..Ah crap...I'll think of his name in a minute...Anyway, I will see you guys next time, have a good flight...'

An accomodating and a friendly fellow, I managed to reach deeper into my pocket and give him a bit of a tip...its not like he needed it too much. But he was friendly so I thought it would be nice to give him one....See you next time, Uncle SAM 24hour Gospel Radio Man!...
