CALLING A LYFT
– expensiveHITCHING A RIDE WITH CHARON, FERRYMAN OF THE DEAD

Juxtaposition is the comedian’s go-to. Compare and contrast two opposing ideas and BANG — you’ve got yourself a joke. The SparkNotes Twitter account thrives on comparing and contrasting elements of modern life with references from literature — in this case, ancient literature. In this instance, they’re comparing your options for a budget taxi ride. Is it going to be Lyft, or the ferryman of the dead from Greek and Roman mythology?
Frankly, we’d choose a ride with Charon any day of the week. We’ve had plenty of conversations with drivers who may as well have been denizens of the underworld…
