Dave Garroway, host of the NBC TV show “Today”, recently told me this story:

One day the show was scheduled to emanate from the center of the George Washington Bridge, astride the Hudson River.  That morning the show’s producer woke up late.  Realizing that the TV mobile unit was already on the bridge, he hastily slipped a coat over his pajamas, ran out to the street and hailed a cab.

“Take me to the George Washington Bridge,” he said, hopping in.  “Jersey side or New York side?” asked the cabby.

“No, no! I want the middle of the bridge!” cried the producer.

The cabby gave his wild-eyed fare a hard look, unlatched the door and said, “No you don’t, mister.  Not in my cab!”
