*Note: New York cab driver named Aaron K. Howard has a flair for the dramatic
and so,
when off duty, he dabbles around playing bit parts on TV shows. He picked up a
fare
the other night and the conversation turned to television shows. Howard told his
fare that
he played lots of parts in various shows but had not been able to get on "The
Web".
"Why is it so tough to get on "The Web"? asked his fare. "Just haven't been able
to get
to the right guy," answered the cabbie. His fare was Vincent McConnor, producer
of the show.
