John Cleese spent 5100 dollars on a 930 mile cab ride "OSLO (AFP) – Monty Python comedy legend John Cleese took a 5,100 dollar taxi ride from Oslo to Brussels after becoming stranded in Europe's volcanic ash travel crisis, the Norwegian TV2 broadcaster reported Friday." ... "I will think about a joke you've probably already heard: How do you get God to laugh? Tell him your plans," Cleese said."

I once spent the equivalent of $60US for a cab trip from Heathrow airport in London to our inn. I was sore about it, but I rationalized that the "luxury" was worth it. The cab was a Jaguar, which apparently means nothing to Brits, but is pretty fancy to us Americans. [Edited 4/17/10 18:48pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

His latest comedy tour is titled "How To Finance Your Divorce". He's paying a total of $20 million in his divorce settlement (he pays in monthly installments for the next seven years) to a woman he describes as "the special love child of Bernie Madoff and Heather Mills." | |

http://news.yahoo.com/s/a...XHcuheDNEF Pretty funny. What's the most you've ever spent on a taxi? I've spent around 25 dollars. Oh, God. We had to spend a hundred dollars on a cab ride home from the Florida State Fairgrounds after I lost the car key on one of the rides at the State Fair. AFTER spending like 300 bucks on taking four kids to the State Fair in the first goddamn place. And AFTER walking around the fairgrounds all fucking day. And AFTER waiting for AAA for an hour, only for them to arrive on the scene and tell us there was nothing they could do. | |

Spend about $50 every time I use a taxi to go to or from the airport here. Not very far either. | |

Obscene, but fantastic. I once spent £90 on a return taxi so I could bring a Nardini's cone from Largs back to an Ardrossan pub for the barmaid. It melted, but it's the thought that counts. | |

Did she give up the pussy? No. She was a psychology student and interpreted my actions as potential obsessive stalker-like behaviour. I murdered her after her shift and saved months of hiding out in bushes and such. Your hair's looking lovely tonight, Erin. And Christopher's put another empty milk carton in the fridge after finishing it off WITHOUT A GLASS. | |

It's pretty cheap really, considering it was from Norway to Belgium. | |

£185 on a taxi from Central London to Luton Airport, we were following Michael Jackson when he left in March 2009. We were working on the theory that by following him we would be the only ones where he was and therefore be able to talk to him etc. It was good in theory but didnt work mainly because like always Michael was running late so as soon as they got on to motorways they drove off alot faster than our little taxi could. Though we had a fab taxi driver who did his best to keep up, that was probably because we were saying we worked for him and had to get to the airport at the same time .
