I left Baltimore last night and took a cab down to Dulles Airport in Virginia. The following is the actual conversation with the cabdriver. It began as the cab crossed the Baltimore beltway, and the driver suddenly remarked:
"There are a lot of Russians out here."
Yes, I replied.
"I can spot them."
You mean, you can tell if they are Russian?
"Yeah...I can tell. It`s a gift I have.
"I had two of them in the cab yesterday.
"They were Russians all right. I tagged them right away."
I guess you can recognize their accents.
"No...I can tell right away. They don`t have to say a word."
Hmmm?
"They were agents. Russian intelligence."
How did you know that?
"It`s a gift."
Hmmm...
"A lot of them out here. One of them was a double agent. Russian intelligence and CIA. Or maybe NSA. I wasn`t sure.
"There are so many...I get confused sometimes. I see them all the time."
You mean, you take them to the airport?
"Sometimes. But I see a lot of them in the mall. A lot of double agents too. Whew...a lot of them. Sometimes triple agents. I had one guy in the car the other day who was CIA, Russian Intelligence and British intelligence.
"He said he was English...but I could tell. They`re pretty good. All kinds of disguises. No way to tell, unless you can tell...heh heh.
"I had one woman on Tuesday. Nice green eyes. Reddish hair. And a thick Irish accent. She said she had lived in Ireland all her life. Even had an Irish passport. But I could tell-Russian Intelligence.
"I haven`t had sex in 12 years. Not with woman, child, man or beast..."
[I decided to let that pass...]
"Another guy with a southern accent...great accent. Said he was from Georgia. Russian intelligence."
Hmmm...there are more than I thought. You can tell just by looking?
"Yeah...sometimes I can tell from a picture. I saw a picture of Al Gore in `The Washington Post` yesterday. British Intelligence. It really struck me. No doubt about it."
I would have guessed it. How about Bill Clinton?
"British Intelligence."
And Hillary?
"Ah...British Intelligence. But you see a lot more in her. Wiccan. Satanist. Some Muslim. Some Buddhist. She gives off a lot."
Wiccan?
"Yeah...she`s a witch. Lot of them around too. Especially in the suburbs.
"I call them Satanists in suits. Not the same as black witchcraft. They`re all over the place. Especially in Silver Spring [A suburb north of the city]."
[I`m not making this up...honest...]
"I was a Christian. I put leaflets under windshield wipers for Operation Rescue [an anti-abortion project]. But I didn`t want to kill anybody. Went to church every day. That`s when I got the gift.
"Yesterday they wanted me to train a new driver. He sat in the cab with me for five hours while I showed him the ropes, you know. Well, I knew. I could just tell. So I said, `Okay...I know you`re a Satanist. And Russian Intelligence.` He said, `Yeah...how`d you know?` It`s a gift."
What do you think of Jesse Ventura, I asked. [I couldn`t resist.]
"Don`t get me started...The guy is really bad news. I saw him on TV.
"Russian Intelligence. How do you like that? And a governor! Wiccan. French Intelligence. And military intelligence. A little bit of Satanism, too."
I figured as much. What do you think of the stock market? [What the heck...maybe Alan Greenspan is a double agent. I had to know...]
"Oh...I don`t do that any more. I used to be a day trader. But I kept losing my money. Then I got compulsive about it. I`d stay up every night until 3 a.m. studying the stock market. I guess some guys are good at it. Not me. I still owe money."
It`s a gift, I said.
