Well then they're really stupid. If you wanted to ship drugs yourself, wouldn't you get off your ass and go get a driver's license? Being chaufeured is opening a whole can of worms.

You're assuming that their licenses weren't suspended or revoked.
 
I think its $3,000.00 one way and they have to pay round trip. Unless cabbie can find another return fare.

Well, that's pretty stupid because they can take the kitties on board and stash them under the seats in front of them - been there, done it now twice myself.

Interesting. :)

I was under the impression they didn't do that and since the cargo holds tend not to be pressurized, the pets turn a cool blue color at 30,000 feet.

As far as I can tell, it's allowed on all major airlines. You just have to alert them ahead of time because there is a limit to how many animals they will allow in the cabin at once.

As for the cargo hold, I don't know about that since we have never used that option. There must be some place that is heated and has cabin-equivalent pressure since people transport dogs in those big crates all the time. They're put somewhere, and it's not in the main cabin.
 
If the couple simply prefers to be driven than flown, they could have gone onto craigslist and found someone driving to LA who would have been glad to have the company and a couple hundred for gas. Plus, as previous noted, there's got to be a negative smell-factor in a NYC taxi.

If the taxi ride option made even a grain of sense, this story would not have made the newspapers.

Yeah, but what if the Craigslister is allergic to cats? Now me, I'd say "sure, we strap the cats carrier to the rooftop and y'all folks just fork over the cash in advance, get in, sit down, shut up, and hang on. And if the cats puke on the roof, the whole bunch of you gets kicked out wherever it happens in Ohio, Oklahoma... I don't care where, you're thumbing the rest of the way."

But then, lots of people aren't as solution-oriented as I am.:D
 
You're assuming two New York alter cockers named Bob and Betty will be more tolerable to drive cross-country with than a couple cats.

Hmmm. Good point. We ARE, after all, speaking here of New Yawkers. Either they go on top of the car or the cats do, whichever one tends to induce the worst allergic reaction in the driver. Thanks, Steverino.
 
Tip, what tip?

It warms my heart to see a minor, inconsequential thread such as this one, bumped back to the top, with the conclusion to the saga. In a world gone wild with so many things happening, it's nice just to watch something simple that brings a smile to our faces.

Thank you, steverino, for that follow-up.

:) No problem, WEB. I heard it on the national news on the radio today.
 
I'd pay $3,000 for someone to put our little bast***s (pun intended) in their carry cases 5 days running. [gross exaggeration] By my reckoning that'd save me about a pint and a half of blood, 3 emergency room visits and a couple of dozen stitches [/gross exaggeration]
 
And now, the punch line.

































Wait for it...


















Old Man: Here's your $3000.00

Cabbie: Hey, wait a minute. Is that alcohol in that bag there?
