A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just as it's going by. As he gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Impeccable timing. You're just like Frank."

Passenger: "Who?"

Cabbie: "Frank Feldman. He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time."

Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."

Cabbie: "Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy."

Passenger: "Sounds like he was really something special."

Cabbie: "There's more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman could do everything right.โ€

Passenger: "Wow, what a guy!"

Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman."

Passenger: "How did you meet him?"

Cabbie: "I never actually met Frank. He died and I married his wife."

AH, I get it now. For those wondering, here's the joke:

While the cabbie never met Frank, because he married Frank's wife, he hears about all of the things Frank did/does better than him because his wife is constantly bitching to him about how great Frank was compared to him.

The cabbie driver married Frank's widow. the joke is that Frank wasn't perfect, but the cabbie driver is always being compared to him and, in his wife's eyes, "he's so much worse at everything than Frank." It doesn't matter what the driver did wrong, "Frank was the best at it."

At first I thought it was a meta analysis on the human condition. How we are all an infinite number of unfulfilled potentials, neverending possibillities, untaped talents and skill. For Frank wasn't someone else, but the cabbie himself, who didn't pursue his potential to the fullest and let it die, settling for the life he is now.

Then I read the comment and I understood that it was just a guy bitching about his wife.
