Chicago

Harriet, a writer for Medical World News, went to an AMA meeting in Chicago. On her way to the airport to return to NJ, the taxi driver turned around and said:

"How much money do you have?"
Harriet, nervous, said: "$35."
"Give it to me."
She did.

The driver drove to the airport, drove up to a cop, and said to him, "This passenger says she doesn't have money to pay me."

The cop and the driver decided to let Harriet make her plane.

The cop was obviously in cahoots with the driver.

(This was many years ago.)
