huffingtonpost.com — Chicago taxi drivers proposed a package of fee and fare hikes Thursday designed to offset their plunging income during the recession. Among the more controversial revenue-boosting ideas brought to the City Council is charging customers $50 for vomiting in cabs.

Seems cheap to me as I'd gladly pay $50 to someone to clean vomit from my car.

What we actually need is a $20 rebate every time we're subjected to rancid B.O. from cab drivers.

"I think I am pretty good at spotting the barfing kind, always ready to stop fast. But I must have been fooled by the quality of their clothes and rolls of cash the guy produced when he asked, “will this be enough?” In this case, after his wife emptied her stomach on my back seat, he handed me a whopping $3 to take the cab to a professional car wash. I must be a wimp, other cab drivers would have slaughtered cattle.A few are conscientious enough to puke outside of the cab. At least one guy was. The slight inconvenience was that we had to stop every 3 blocks for him to do so, and each time he leaned out he farted into the car. A most unpleasant experience, but even more so for his drunken pal sitting next to him. After I had dropped them off, his comrade rewarded him with a good whipping in the driveway. I declined to call the police. He kind of deserved it."<a class="user" href="http://thungle.blogspot.com/2007/02/you-meet-nicest-people-in-omaha.html" rel="nofollow">http://thungle.blogspot.com/2007/02/you-meet-nices ...</a>

How about a fee paid to the passenger when the driver smells like an open sewer? Goddamn nasty ass f**ks don't know what a shower is.
