Credit Ebad, my friend from the midwest, with this one.

During a downpour in New York City, a man walks to 5th Avenue & 42nd Street and some how manages to get a taxi immediately.
He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Sheldon."
"Who?"
"Sheldon Cohen. There's a guy who did everything right. Like my cab being vacant during a rainstorm. It would have happened like that for Sheldon every single time."
"Well, no one is perfect. There are always a few clouds over everybody", stated the passenger.
"Not Sheldon. He was a terrific athlete. He could have gone on the pro tour in tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star. Handsome and sophisticated, more than Cary Grant. He had a better body than Arnold in his prime. He was really something."
"Somehow Sheldon just knew exactly how to make women happy. He had a memory like a computer. Could remember everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which fork to eat with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole neighborhood blacks out."
"Wow, incredible, no wonder you remember him!"
"Well, I never actually met Sheldon."
"Then how do you know so much about him?"
"After he died, I married his wife."
