I hailed a cab. "Hey, you wanna make an easy hundred bucks?" I asked the driver. He responded with a grin that revealed his missing teeth and answered with something that sounded like "Teek, teekuh" followed by "Sure, okay." The foreign words turned out to be Hindi for more or less the same thing. (Damn, I should have offered him fifty instead!) We agreed that he would pick me up the next day, and he gave me his pager number.
