Mysteries Not the Best Name for a Taxi Company

Look, I'd be the first to admit I don't know much about marketing. If I did, the various Lauderdale industries would still be thriving, and I wouldn't be forced to stay up past my bedtime on a Sunday night, scribbling this column or blog or whatchamacallit to eke out a pitiful existence.

But — I don't care if you did get stuck with the awkward phone number 666 (back in the days when phone numbers here were apparently just three digits).

It's just not a good idea, if you ask me, to name your taxi company after the Mark of the Beast.

Or any company, for that matter.

I just KNEW Satan influenced the drivers in Memphis.

It's the only thing that could explain the driver standing outside his car, double parked next to an EMPTY spot on the street in Downtown Memphis that I encountered the other week.



Now I have proof! Thanks Vance.
