Amway or the Highway?

A cab driver takes a fugitive couple on a 115-mile trip. The wife is bleeding with a gunshot wound to the leg. They both look as mean as hell. They claim to have lost their ID and ask the cabbie to book and pay for their motel room with cash. But none of this makes the cabbie suspicious.

What makes the cabbie suspicious--and ultimately leads to their capture--is their claim to be on their way to an Amway convention.

"They gave me no cause for suspicion other than the Amway thing that didn't stick," said cabbie Mike Wagers, referring to the couple's seeming reluctance to elaborate further on the subject.

He said real Amway sellers are aggressive about their products.

Ain't that the truth.
